CONTENT 1.1
   What is a syllable?
          -A syllable is a single uninterrupted sound that
    is in every single word.

   Some words can have just one syllable, but some
    words can have more than one syllable.
CONTENT 1.2
   The sound of where the word breaks up is called
    the syllable.

   Sometimes its easy to feel where the word is
    supposed to break up by touching your throat when
    you say the word

   Or, you can clap the words..


 Lets    try some!
PRACTICE

   Dog (CLAP) = 1 syllable

   Hotdog (CLAP CLAP) = 2 syllables

   Rainbow (CLAP CLAP) = 2 syllables

   Elephant (CLAP CLAP CLAP) = 3 syllables

   Clouds (CLAP) = 1 syllable
CONTENT 1.3
   If you do not understand do not worry! Try this
    activity! Hold your lips together while you try to say
    the words. ( Make duck lips) You should be able to
    feel where the syllables are! Watch these children!
