Syllables and Compound words

Kindergarten Phonics Lesson

Learning Intentions

• I am learning the sound-spellings for long and short vowel Aa /a/.

• I am learning how to recognize the letters and sounds of Aa in a word.

• I am learning how to count and blend syllables in words.

Success Criteria

• I can say and write the sound-spelling for short vowel Aa.

•  I can recognize the letters and sounds of Aa in a word.

• I can correctly write dictated letters while saying their sounds.

Syllable/ Compound Word Game

I will say two one syllable words and you will blend them together to create one word. We will then count the syllables for each word. 

Let's try one:

base, ball

base+ball=baseball, now lets clap it out. How many syllables are in the word baseball?

We Do

• star, fish

• star+fish =

• How many syllables are in the new word?

• rail, road

• rail+road=

• How many syllables are in the new word?

You do: put the words together to make a compound word and clap out the syllables.

• cup/cake=

• sail/boat=

• flash/light=

• sand/box=

This is the letter A, today we will continue to work on the short A sound like in the word ant

Which words have the short a sound?

• bash

• flap

• rag

• stop

• clap

• glad

• tax
