About this worksheet

What students practice

  • Students count the vowel sounds in a printed word to tell how many syllables it has.
  • Students explain that a silent e or a vowel team does not add an extra syllable.

How to use

Model the first word: read it, find each vowel sound and count. Then let students work alone, and read the store story aloud before the last questions.
