Practice
dividing words into syllables by using the students'
names as a starting point. Go around the
classroom using each student's name for an example.
-
Have
the Cookie Word
Worksheet cut into strips. Pass
out one strip to each student. The students
should take turns reading their word (or having it
read to them) and clapping their word to determine the
number of syllables. Use the WordCentral
link (or a dictionary) to enter the words for
verification. The students should then
place their words on the chart for whether it has 1,
2, or 3 syllables.
