LESSON OUTLINE
Introducing the lesson
Timing
I will
2 minutes
Who remembers what syllables
are?
Syllables are a way that we can
chop up our words to help us
with spelling. As we chop the
words into parts each new
piece is a syllable
Listen to me say these words
tractor, sunset, book, cat,
radio. As I said those words did
you notice my chin moving up
and down?
Lets say these words together
but lets put our hand below
our chin. When we say the
words lets pay attention to how
many times our chin moves up
and down. Each time your
mouth open you say another
syllable. (hold up the words as
you say them)
How many syllables are in the
word cat?, what about tractor?
How many are in radio? Can
you see where should I put my
marker on the word to chop it
up into syllables? (mark
tractor to show the students)
Developing the lesson
Timing
I will
8 minutes
Give students a sheet with 5
columns
Place a range of words on the
table (or pictures)
Say each word and students
must find the word and stick it
in the column (or bucket) that
correspondents with the
number of syllables in the
word.
