Christmas Syllable Counting Dot Pages

The ability to count syllables is a skill that helps kids get ready to read and spell. Generally speaking, longer words have more syllables and shorter words have less syllables.

So, being able to hear the number of syllables in a word increases word length awareness. As kids begin to do more spelling, the ability to hear syllables also affects the spelling patterns in words.

If you’re looking for general counting cards, you may enjoy our Syllable Counting Mats.

You’ll need dot paint or if you want to make it re-usable, you could cover the circles with transparent counters, Power Magnets, or pennies.

 

 

 

To use the Christmas syllable counting dot pages:

1. Name the object pictured. {Say it in “normal” speed.}

2. Say the name of the object again, but slow down and separate the syllables this time. {or-na-ment} A syllable key is included in the download.

3. Encourage your learner to say the word slowly with you, dotting the syllables as she goes.
