Syllables Practice 2

 Syllables

Words are made up of parts called syllables. Each syllable has a vowel sound. A fun way to count syllables is to clap as you read each word. 

Examples:

Bat	1 clap	1 syllable
monkey	2 claps	2 syllables
forever	3 claps	3 syllables

Now it’s your turn:

Words that have 2 syllables	Words that have 3 syllables	Words that have 4 syllables or more
Monkey	Chocolate	Appreciate
Autumn	Emeline	Authority
Among	Beautiful	Application
