Syllable Safari: Count the Syllables

How many syllables can you spot on the safari? In this worksheet, pre-K through first-grade students will count syllables in animals they may see on a safari. As they immerse themselves in the syllable savannah, students will break down each word they encounter into syllable blocks. 

Being able to decipher and segment syllables is vital to success in reading and spelling, as it can help students break down longer or unfamiliar words. Understanding syllables is an important part of reading and spelling, so it’s important to build confidence with these foundational skills.
