Syllable Workshop: Sentence Beat Spotter
Name:
Date:
Today I am practising: finding multisyllabic words in a short sentence
1
Read or hear: The rabbit hops. Circle rabbit.
2
Clap the beats in rabbit.
3
Read or hear: An elephant is big. Circle elephant.
4
Draw beat marks under butterfly in: A butterfly lands.
5
Write one sentence using a two-beat word.
6
Read your sentence to an adult and tap each beat in the target word.
- Read each sentence aloud first so decoding does not hide the sound-awareness goal.
- Choose one target word per sentence and point to it while the child claps.
- Accept dictated sentences and help the child locate the word they chose.
