SPLT Learning - Syllables

Today our SPLT group looked at improving our spelling through the use of syllables. Here is the what we recorded as our thinking and learning:

I am learning to break words into syllables.

PK

• 2 words joined together? e.g. someone, into
• Is it a word and you break the word into small words?

We need to know…

• What does syllable mean.
• How do we use syllables
• What are syllables
• When do we use syllables
• Where do we use syllables

What is a syllable?

• A syllable is a part of a word/chunk in a word that makes a sound

elephant el/e/phant = 3

syllable syll/a/ble = 3

vegetable veg/e/ta/ble = 4

Anderson And/er/son

island is/land

en/cy/clo/pe/d/ia

pop/trop/i/ca

How does knowing about syllables help us to spell words?

• When you dont know how to  spell a word, sound it out aloud, clap the syllables, write down the syllables you can hear

e.g pro/spec/tive

com/pre/hen/tion

Thursday's new learning: 

Every syllable must have at least one vowel!

Eth/an
