These worksheets will challenge students to identify one, two and three syllable words. Designed as a cut and paste activity, this resource is an engaging way for young students to practise counting syllables.

How to Complete:

1. Students begin by colouring images of one, two and three syllable words and cutting out the boxes.
2. Have them say the words aloud, clapping, tapping, or using another method to count the syllables.
3. Students sort and glue each image card under the correct column labelled 1, 2, or 3, based on the number of syllables in the word it represents.

Additional Tips:

1. Enlarge the templates to A3 for easier cutting and colouring.
2. Model how to count syllables with a several examples before students begin sorting on their own.
3. Incorporate movement by asking students to jump, clap, or stomp for each syllable as they sort the words.
4. Encourage students to review their sorted words by saying them aloud.

Extension Ideas:

1. Create a Syllable Graph: Use the images to create a picture graph of one, two, and three syllable words.
2. Write Sentences: Have students choose words from each syllable category and use them to create a sentence.
3. Challenge with New Words: Extend the activity by asking students to add their own words or pictures to each syllable category.
