A syllable is a unit of speech that contains at least one vowel sound plus any consonant sounds. The  Phonological Awareness ideas from Miriam Trehearne. |

A syllable scavengar hunt
Syllable Search is an activity to support student's development of multisyllabic word decoding. This activity provides students with opportunities to analyze and synthesize syllables into words. Syllable Search helps students develop the ability to recognize chunks of words that share meanings: prefixes, suffixes, and roots.
Segmenting syllables in words is an important step in developing phonemic awareness. This syllable sorting activity provides pictorial support for students and can be done whole group, small group or independently in a literacy work station or center. There are several options for using this activity, depending on the individual needs of your students.
