Description
Give your kindergartners three hands-on ways to practice counting syllables with this set of clip cards and worksheets, designed for kindergarten and first grade students. 102 picture words appear in three card formats, so students count the syllables with counters, with numbers, or with their own fingers, building the phonological awareness they need for reading.
The worksheets come in three levels, so one student can work with one and two syllable words while another counts words up to four syllables. Also included is a picture word reference list.
