Grade 1 Reading & Writing · World 5: Syllable Summit · Level 33
Clap the Syllables
Count, add, remove, and swap syllables.
Warm-up, learn, try it together, practice, then a quick check. About 15 minutes.
What children learn in Level 33
- Words have beats called syllables. Clap them! Cat has 1 clap. Rab-bit has 2. But-ter-fly has 3!
- Another trick: hold your hand under your chin. Each time your chin drops, that's a syllable. Wa-ter-mel-on: 4!
- You can take a syllable away. Say cowboy without cow: boy!
- You can swap one too. Change the snow in snowman to mail: mailman!
- Clap it, count it, and change it!
Georgia's K-12 English Language Arts Standards:
- 1.F.PA.4.d — Add, delete, and substitute syllables in spoken words.
