Teachers, save “Syllables: “Clap It Out” on the Farm” to assign it to your class.

Hi everyone, Click on the link to the left to watch a video about syllables. (Note to parents - you may want to click the settings wheel in the bar at the bottom of the video and change the playback speed to 0.75 to slow the song down a bit. Also, the song practices up to 5 syllables, but we will only do up to 3 today, so you can end the song at 3 if you like).

Click on the then move the number of syllables in the word to the box underneath it. For "farmer," I would choose a 2. 6. Click when you are finished. Have fun, Mary
