48 Kindergarten | Unit 2 Assessment and Remediation Guide
I Spy- Play I Spy using two- to four-syllable words.
- For example: “I spy, with my little eye, a ta [pause] ble.”
- If playing with a small group, once students blend the syllables they could go
over to the object and touch it to indicate their answer. If playing with a large
group, students could take turns touching the named object. - Once students are comfortable with the game, they can practice segmenting
syllables by taking turns being the person to “spy” an object. - Other multisyllabic items around the classroom might be:
- bas/ket
- kin/der/gar/ten
- com/pu/ter
- cur/tain
- e/ra/ser
6. note/book
7. pen/cil
8. speak/er
9. sta/pler
10. win/dow

Advance Preparation
Have a deck of regular playing cards ready. For word suggestions select one or
more Silly Monster or Position Worksheets and refer to the associated Word List
for 2-, 3-, and some 4-syllable words.- Using a set of regular playing cards, deal a small stack of cards to students.
- Tell students, “I am going to say a word. I want you to place a card on the
table for each syllable in the word.” (Remember to speak at a slower pace than
natural cadence.) - Each student places a card on the table for each syllable heard.
- Once all students have the correct number of cards set out, return the cards to
the pile for the next sentence.
