Give FeedbackSyllable Clap
Clap out the beats of a word. For the word detective, for example, you would first say the word in syllables one time and then clap one, two, three, detective.
Say: “I am thinking of a word that has (clap the number) syllables.” Let the child say a word that has the same number of syllables you clapped.
Look for objects around you. Ask your child to say the plural while you say the singular. Example:
|
Teacher
|
Student
|
|
Say tree
|
Says trees
|
|
Say chair
|
Says chairs
|
|
Say apple
|
Says apples
