Syllable Workshop: Picture to Beat Boxes

Name:                              
Date:              

Today I am practising: representing syllables with one box per spoken part

1

Name a picture of a dog and mark one beat box.

2

Name a picture of a pencil and fill two beat boxes.

3

Name a picture of a banana and fill three beat boxes.

4

Draw a picture for a two-beat word.

5

Circle the picture that belongs in three boxes.

6

Read your boxes to an adult by touching one box per beat.

Grown-up guide
  1. Name each picture together before counting so vocabulary is not confused with syllable skill.
  2. Have the child move left to right while tapping each box.
  3. If a word is disputed, repeat it at normal speed and choose the pronunciation used at home or school.
