ABOUT COUNTING SYLLABLES IN WORDS GAME

This engaging syllable counting activity helps first grade students develop their phonological awareness skills by identifying the number of syllables in printed words. Students learn the fundamental concept that every syllable must contain a vowel sound, enabling them to break down words into their syllable components.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

Through this interactive digital game, students will:
- Understand that every syllable contains a vowel sound
- Practice counting syllables in grade-appropriate words
- Develop skills in breaking words into syllables
- Build phonological awareness through hands-on practice
- Apply syllable counting strategies to unfamiliar words

This differentiated learning activity aligns with Common Core Standard RF.1.3.d and provides teachers with an engaging way to assess students' understanding of syllables. The gamified format makes learning fun while delivering meaningful curriculum-aligned practice.
