How do you explain syllables to five-year-olds? 🤔
Phonics and spelling are tricky concepts for younger children, and the syllables and sounds words make are especially complicated. Use this game-based resource to help learners understand the concept and have some fun!
Learners can engage their kinesthetic senses by clapping along to the sounds in the embedded video and counting how many times their jaw drops when they say a word out loud by holding their chin.
Tip: If your learners are still struggling to understand syllables, have them say these words while looking in the mirror. Sometimes, seeing their jaw moving can help! 🪞
This resource is designed for KS1 learners; however, it can easily be adapted and used with learners with SEND. (Our 'Top Tips for Adaptability' slide at the end explains how you can use this resource differently for a range of learners)
Bonus feature: all of our resources will now come with a 'Top tips for adaptability' section, in which I offer you easy adaptations you can make to ensure learners with SEND can access this content. 😃 Remember—I'm here to help! As a teacher for students with special needs for seven years, I'd be happy to help adapt this resource for your learners. Comment below and let me know how I can help!
