Today I am practising: segmenting familiar names into spoken syllables
1
Say your first name and clap its beats.
2
Draw one box for each beat you hear.
3
Write or ask an adult to write your name in the boxes.
4
Clap the name of a classmate, family member, or favorite character.
5
Compare two names. Which has more beats?
6
Tell an adult whether the number of letters changed your clap count.
- Invite the child to choose names; never require sharing a name they do not want to use.
- Pronounce selected names as their owners do and accept regional pronunciations.
- Keep the focus on spoken parts, not on matching each letter to a clap.
