Ending Syllables

Worksheet Description

This worksheet provides a list of words that students are asked to analyze for syllable count. The rule stated at the top indicates that the vowels “a,” “e,” “o,” and “u” usually say their names at the end of a syllable, with examples given such as “a-pron,” “me,” “go,” “u-nit.” Students are instructed to write the number of syllables they identify in each word in the space provided next to it. The worksheet features a mix of words with varying syllable lengths to challenge students’ understanding of syllable division and vowel sounds.

The aim of the worksheet is to teach students how to identify and count syllables in words, with a focus on the role vowels play in syllable formation. It helps students understand that vowels often maintain their long sounds at the end of syllables. Through this activity, students enhance their phonemic awareness by breaking down words into their constituent syllables. Additionally, this exercise serves to improve their pronunciation skills and prepares them for more advanced spelling and reading tasks.
