The Importance of Syllables in Spelling
All skilled spellers are good at breaking words up into syllables.Syllables are the individual sounds that make up a word:
one small bit at a time.
1. Read aloud each of the following words, then break it into
syllables. Try "clapping" the word. One clap for each syllable. Or tap your desk.
