Teaching Syllables

Teaching children how to break apart words into syllables is necessary in teaching them how to write.  I watched dozens of youtube videos and I thought this one was the easiest to explain to my son.  


The video is made by a group of kindergarten teachers.

After I watched this video I sat down and did the same demonstration explaining syllables to Ethan.


I also found a website that he can practice counting syllables. (this game doesn't work with Safari, but it does work with Firefox)
Here is the link.
