hello everyone this is Renee Busch again with my tip or trick to help with reading and writing at home to talk about syllables in syllables in a simple form or just the parts of a word so I'm going to get into show me the details of that a syllable is The Unbroken part of a word and it's been referred to as the beat of a word because when we break a world apart we often clap or tap or snap something with a rhythm so that helps us hear the break of the word but we can hear the beat of the word one of the beginning steps to learning to read is being able to break apart words into their syllables so if you stay away they should be able to break that word apart we encourage our students to count the syllables in the word by clapping it out to hear the break sometimes we clap tap or snap every school has a vowel so is a word has one vowel it has one syllable if a word has two vowels it has two syllables but in some cases those valves are together are there style team like R E A or a vowel or a consonant and a silent then that is only one syllable because those Bow Wow go together they are vowel teams and because s Valley silent we keep it there so snap is one syllable and then we have basket you can hear me clock out the rhythm of basket to syllables you can see in this graphic the different rules for breaking apart a word and Counting the syllables when you see the receipt at means of vowel and when you see the see that mean the consonant so if you're looking at words we have a vowel with the A and then we have a consonant consonant and then another vowel we would break it between the two consonants oh basket cabin it has the consonant vowel in the middle you break it after the consonant after the first battle cabin and you can see the rest of the rules going down here vowel consonant you divide the constantly divide before the next consonant when the first battle is long so this is its name it says a so you divide it after the long vowel you can see right here has the Ellie the e at the end of silent but we break it in between the consonants right there before we get to the l e I'm and then you can read through these we have three consonants in a row you break it vowels and split after the first consonant okay right there and this house with lots of consonants in the middle of the vowels that you break it between the first consonant after the first vowel compound words you break it between the two words and then you break it at suffixes and prefixes there are words and these are just some examples that are only one syllable so there one class cat truck you can see they only have one vowel you can practice syllables at home just by giving them a word and having your students clap or snap the syllables you can use spelling words you could use vocabulary words you could use words that you just hear while you're cooking dinner and have them while they're sitting at the table you say dinner with syllables and dinner they clap dinner if you're making something like let's say you're making cauliflower you can say let's Clap the syllables of cauliflower you can clap without I have some examples at the bottom of the page but you can use your words. at home thank you for your time and I look forward to presenting another video to you
