Counting Syllables: Nature Walk

Take a hike to reach your campsite! Let’s count our syllables to navigate nature. Intended for young learners within the second and third grades, this playful worksheet will motivate students to guess syllable counts correctly. By using their budding reading skills, students will sound out the syllables of a word in order to progress through their nature walk and make it to their tent. 

A solid foundation in syllable recognition will help young learners break up words into parts, which will improve their decoding skills and understanding of the English language’s composition.
