๐ Topic Summary
Let's learn about syllables! Syllables are like the beats in a word. Each syllable has a vowel sound (like a, e, i, o, u). When we say a word, we can clap for each syllable we hear. For example, the word 'happy' has two syllables: 'hap' and 'py'. We can clap twice! Knowing how to find syllables helps us read and spell better.
