Description
Hand your students a die and a marker and these Syllables Roll and Count Mats become something kindergarten and first grade students can work through on their own. Students roll a die and look at the picture in the matching column. They say the word, listen carefully for each syllable, and write the number they hear, building phonological awareness with every roll.
Print in color and laminate for literacy centers or use the worksheet for no prep practice and early finishers.
