Syllable Sort
Cut apart the individual word cards (alternately, teachers may make their own word cards). Consonant-LE and Schwa syllable types are not included because the focus of this game is on single syllables and both Consonant-LE and schwa syllables occur in multisyllabic words.
Next, write the known syllable types in columns or boxes on a large sheet of paper or whiteboard.
Finally, Students should select a word card, identify the syllable type, read the word, and then sort it into the correct syllable column or box.
Be sure to only use the introduced syllable types. For example, if you have taught only Open and Closed syllables, only give students the word cards with Open and Closed syllables.
For students who have learned Magic-E, include the Magic-E word cards.
For students who have learned through the Vowel Team AI, provide Open, Closed, Magic-E. However, only include the Vowel Teams EA and AI. Because students would not have learned the other Vowel Teams (OA, EE, AY, OE), do not include those word cards in the Syllable Sort.
This makes a quick and easy review activity, intensive activity, or re-teaching tool. Students of all ages enjoy it, and it helps students to focus on the unique vowel sounds of each syllable type. Also, teachers or tutors can easily customize the activity to meet individual student needs while targeting specific skills.
