Syllables - Worksheet

This worksheet is designed to help students improve their understanding of syllables, which are the distinct parts of a word that contain a vowel sound. Task One presents a list of twenty words and asks students to determine the number of syllables in each. The words range from simple, such as 'dog', which has one syllable, to more complex, like 'advertisement', which has more syllables to count. This exercise aims to enhance the students' phonological awareness by breaking down words into their rhythmic components.

In Task Two, students are given the challenge of completing words by filling in the missing syllables. The task provides the first and sometimes the last parts of the words, leaving a blank where one or more syllables should be inserted. For example, students must transform 'De-_____-mine' into 'determine' by identifying the missing syllable. This activity not only reinforces their syllable counting skills but also aids in vocabulary development and spelling proficiency. Through engaging with this worksheet, students will develop a stronger grasp of word structure and improve their reading and writing abilities.
