Syl-lab-i-ca-tion

This week in Reading Intervention, we are working on syllabication.  This phonemic awareness activity can be difficult for young students.  My Kindergarteners tend to streeeeeeetch out one syllable words to give them 2 or three syllables!  Maybe it's a southern thing.  :)  We "clap it out" to count our syllables, but this takes practice.  Along with picture flashcards, I use some fun cut and paste activities to reinforce this important skill.  My first graders are getting to be pros at the segmentation, but we will continue to review this to help with their blending skills.
