It's Time for Baseball Practice

I am always looking for interesting ways to practice how many syllables are in a word. I was "blog cruising" and I found the perfect solution on a great blog known as Just Another Day in First Grade. If you have not seen this blog please check it out and follow this talented teacher. I already have her in my Goggle reader.
So... I tweeked her idea for creating this book and made it a bit easier for my kinderkids. I can't wait to try it out. It is the perfect activity for keeping them busy while I am assessing them. Thank you so much Mrs. Tabb.
I want the kids to clap each word and decide how many parts it has.
Then they cut out the the correct number of balls and glue them under the word. I think they will love doing this! Let's play ball!

My Kids Flip Over These Books

My students love these flip books and because they always need additional practice with syllables I make these for every possible theme I teach. It is a big hit and it is so cute to watch them do this during their independent work time. I see them clapping out the word and trying to decide if it has 1,2, or 3 syllables. I always remind them to cut and paste the pictures under each flap before they color. This can be a great assessment too.
