Syllables: vowel and consonant patterns

think back to spelling teaching Syllables are the number of BEATS in a word.

To work out how many syllables are in a word, we can clap each beat:

Hap-pyBirth-daytoyou

Hap - py, has two beats so we would clap two times,

Birth - day also has two beats,

Type the number:

ferry
train
ambulance

helicopter
truck
