Syllable Workshop: Check the Beat Count
Name:
Date:
Today I am practising: checking and revising a syllable-count claim
1
A friend says banana has two beats. Tap and check the claim.
2
A friend says cat has one beat. Mark correct or fix it.
3
A friend says elephant has four beats. Count and revise if needed.
4
Draw taps for pencil and write the total.
5
Write a word with three beats for an adult to check.
6
Explain which action helped you fix one answer.
- Frame corrections as checking evidence, not as catching a mistake.
- Model a steady tap for one word before the child begins independently.
- Use only pronunciations familiar to the child and state the accepted count aloud.
