Counting Syllables: Fall

Count the syllables in autumnal words like sweater and November in this kindergarten and first-grade worksheet! Students are shown 12 fall-related images, each of which is labeled with its name. Learners must determine whether the word is one, two, or three syllables, then circle the correct answer.

Syllables help students understand how sounds work together to create words. As learners encounter longer words, knowledge of syllables can help them break the word apart and read it. Syllables also reinforce students’ phonics skills, as vowel and consonant sounds determine a word’s number of syllables. Phonological awareness is a key component of early literacy, which will help young learners become strong readers.
