A word may have one, two, or even more syllables. For example:<\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><em><span class=\"italic\">bat<\/span><\/em> has one vowel sound and therefore one syllable<\/li>\r\n<li><em><span class=\"italic\">sticky<\/span><\/em> has two vowel sounds and therefore two syllables<\/li>\r\n<li><em><span class=\"italic\">south<\/span><\/em> has one vowel sound\u2014\/ow\/\u2014and therefore one syllable<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.allaboutlearningpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Count-Syllables-Fantastic-Monkey-600x390.png\" alt=\"Monkey pointing out the three word chunk syllables in the word 'fantastic' \" class=\"center\" width=\"600\" \/>\r\n\r\n<h2>Four Easy Ways to Count Syllables<\/h2>\r\n\r\n<p>Most of us learned to count syllables with the first method below, the Clap Method. But for a little\u00a0extra variety and a lot of extra fun, I\u2019ve included three other effective methods. If your child just doesn\u2019t \u201cget it\u201d with one of the methods, take a short break and then try a different one!<\/p>\r\n\r\n<ol class=\"large pastels\">\r\n\t<li><p><span class=\"bold\">The Clap Method.<\/span>\u00a0The Clap Method is the most common way to teach syllable counting, and it works well for most students.

Children who have acquired this skill generally learn to read and spell much more easily. But don\u2019t despair if your child doesn\u2019t pick up this skill right away! It\u2019s a rather abstract concept that can take time and repetition to sink in.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Here are some additional activities that can help your child identify syllables.<\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li><span class=\"bold\">Sing simple songs with a STRONG BEAT that your child knows.<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.allaboutlearningpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Count-Syllables-Activity-Drum-150x150.png\" alt=\"A red and blue drum\" class=\"right\" width=\"150\" \/>\r\n\r\n<p>For example, \u201cMary Had a Little Lamb.\u201d Clap out each beat in the song like this: \u201cMar \u2013 y \u2013 had \u2013 a \u2013 lit \u2013 tle \u2013 lamb \u2013 its \u2013 fleece \u2013 was \u2013 white \u2013 as \u2013 snow.\u201d Or you could try beating out the rhythm on a homemade drum (box and spoon, or oatmeal container and chopsticks). Call it music class, and work on it a little each day. Be sure to pick songs in which each syllable is sung on only one beat.<\/p><\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\t<li><span class=\"bold\">Play a robot game with your child.<\/span>\r\n    \r\n    <p>Your child gives you a word, and you say it in your best robotic voice, separating the syllables. Then switch roles\u2014you give your child a word to try. Have a contest to\u00a0see who can sound the most like a robot!<\/p><\/li>\r\n\r\n\t<li><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.allaboutlearningpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Count-Syllables-Activity-Football-150x150.png\" alt=\"Football\" class=\"right\" width=\"150\" \/><span class=\"bold\">Clap the syllables in compound words.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<p>Clap once for <em>foot<\/em>, once for <em>ball<\/em>, and then put it together and clap twice for\u00a0<em>football<\/em>. Other compound words that work well include\u00a0<span class=\"italic\">c<em>obweb<\/em><\/span><em>, <span class=\"italic\">backpack<\/span>, <span class=\"italic\">rainbow<\/span>, <span class=\"italic\">toothbrush<\/span>, <span class=\"italic\">cupcake<\/span>, <span class=\"italic\">popcorn<\/span>,<\/em> and <em><span class=\"italic\">airplane<\/span><\/em>. You can get some extra mileage out of this activity by using it as you teach and practice compound words, too!<\/p><\/li>\r\n\r\n\t<li><span class=\"bold\">Turn mealtime into practice time.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<p>At mealtime, use the food on your plate as inspiration for a syllable counting game. One at a time, each family member announces what he is eating. As you say what you're eating, playfully break up the words into chunks. \u201cI\u2019m eating a <em>pic-kle<\/em>!\" \"Would you like some <em>spa-ghet-ti<\/em>?\" \"Please pass the <em>sal-ad.<\/em>\"<\/p><\/li>\r\n\r\n\t<li><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.allaboutlearningpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Count-Syllables-Activity-Zebra-150x150.png\" alt=\"Cartoon zebra\" class=\"right\" width=\"150\" \/><span class=\"bold\">Play \u201cgoing to the zoo.\u201d<\/span>\r\n\r\n<p>Take turns calling out animal names and, if possible, the sounds they make. Then everyone can jump, beat, or clap to the syllables. Here are a few examples: \"I went to the zoo, and I saw a <em>kan-ga-roo<\/em>.\" \"I went to the zoo, and I saw a <em>ze-bra<\/em>!\" \"I went to the zoo, and I saw a <em>tur-key<\/em>, and the <em>tur-key<\/em> said, <em>gob-ble-gob-ble<\/em>!\"<\/p><\/li>\r\n\r\n\t<li><span class=\"bold\">Clap the syllables in the names of friends and family members.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<p>This is also a wonderful way for your child to work on remembering all his relatives\u2019 names!<\/p><\/li><\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2>Keep It Fun!<\/h2>\r\n\r\n<p>Above all, keep your syllable counting practice light and playful, and if your child doesn\u2019t understand right away, try again in a week or so with a different method or activity.
