Break long words into parts and read them.

Break words into syllables

Say each word out loud. Clap once for each syllable.

A syllable is a word part with one vowel sound. To read a long word, break it into syllables, read each part, and then blend the parts together. When two consonants stand in the middle of a word, break the word between them, like pic-nic.

Sort the animal names by how many syllables they have.
