Spellbound by Syllables
Syllables are words or parts of a word. We learn about syllables in early childhood as part of our early reading and spelling lessons. Each syllable has one vowel sound. We are taught that we can clap to count syllables. We can also put our hand under our chin to count each time our mouth opens. Try it…
Why teach about syllables? Dividing words into parts, or "chunks" helps speed the process of decoding. Knowing the rules for syllable division can students read words more accurately and fluently. Understanding syllables can also help students learn to spell words correctly.
