Splitting Syllables

Identify the correct way to split syllables in this second- and third-grade worksheet! In part one, students are shown three ways to split a variety of two-syllable words. Readers must shade the box that shows the correct way to split the syllables. Then, in part two, learners are challenged to split three unique three-syllable words.

A firm understanding of syllables will help students build vital reading and spelling skills. Syllables are the building blocks of words, and learning to split words will prompt students to think about vowel sounds, letter patterns, and ending sounds.
