Methods for Indicating Syllables in a Word

The methods suggested below for segmenting syllables should be familiar

because they are utilized in Unit 1 Skills Strand and Assessment and

Remediation Guide lesson activities related to segmenting sentences.

Gross Motor Fine Motor

Step Forward Move Cubes

Touch Head, Shoulders, Knees, &

Toes (new to Unit 2) Circle Cubes

Clap Tap/Count with Fingers

For lessons targeting blending compound words and/or two-syllable words,

utilize the hand motions first learned in Skills Strand Unit 2, Lesson 1. This

motion prompts students to:

1. Hold your fists in front of you, palms facing down.


2. Flip over your left fist and open it as you say the first of two syllables (e.g.,
   cup).


3. Flip over your right fist and open it as you say the second of two syllables
   (e.g., cake).


4. Clap your hands as you say the whole word with the syllables blended
   (e.g., cupcake).
