Last week, we showed students that the number of vowel sounds in a word determines the number of syllables. Before learning to split written words into syllables, students need practice hearing syllables. In this week’s Teacher Tip Tuesday, we discuss how you can create a multisensory experience to help your students with this step.
This week’s Family Friday is a special arts and crafts project. Just like in the story, Patti’s Pockets, you will collect items in your own “pockets” and then use what you collected to make a nature collage! Read our step-by-step guide on how to use everyday items to create something beautiful!
Este viernes en familia es un proyecto especial de artesanía. Al igual que en el cuento, Los bolsillos de Patti, coleccionará objetos en sus propios “bolsillos” y luego los usará para crear un collage. ¡Lea nuestra guía paso a paso sobre cómo utilizar objetos cotidianos para crear algo hermoso!
This week’s Family Friday is a fun interactive activity you can do on your own, or with others. After reading Full Moon Parade, you will bring the characters from the book to life and create your own scene. Have fun with this social-emotional acting activity!

What are syllables? In English, every word is comprised of at least one syllable, because every word has at least one vowel sound. The vowel sounds, and where they are located within the word, determine how many syllables the word has, and what type of syllables there are. There are six syllable types: closed, open, vowel consonant-e, vowel team, r-controlled, and consonant-le.
Learning to successfully identify and use the six syllable types will lead to better decoding outcomes for our students. With that in mind, Footsteps2Brilliance has introduced more games and pre-designed lessons for teaching syllables to our collection! Our new “All About Syllables Teacher Tip Tuesday” series will help teachers make the most of these comprehensive resources. Let’s do it!
