📚 Topic Summary
Simple words are the building blocks of reading! Syllables are like the beats in a word. One-syllable words have one beat (like 'cat'), two-syllable words have two beats (like 'happy'), and three-syllable words have three beats (like 'banana'). Practicing these helps you read bigger words and understand what you're reading!
Let's practice recognizing words with one, two, and three syllables. Remember, each syllable has a vowel sound!
🔤 Part A: Vocabulary
Match the word with its definition:
| Word |

A. A yellow fruit |

B. Feeling pleased |
| 3. Banana |
C. A small furry animal |
| 4. Table |
D. Where you eat or work. |
| 5. Sun |
E. The star that gives us light. |
✍️ Part B: Fill in the Blanks
Read the sentences and fill in the missing words from the word bank (happy, sun, cat, banana, table).
- The ______ is shining brightly today.

- The ______ is sleeping on the ______.
