About this resource
Description
This St. Patrick’s Day syllables worksheet asks students to do two things with every word, not one. First they write the word out in parts, putting a hyphen where the word breaks, and then they fill in the bubble for how many parts they heard. Writing the division down is what separates a student who can count claps from a student who can actually see where a word comes apart, and it is the step a simple counting page leaves out.
A reference box at the top defines a syllable as one word part with a single vowel sound and works through shamrock as an example, so the rule and the model stay on the page while students work. Seven holiday words follow: gold, shamrock, leprechaun, green, parade, rainbow and luck. The set runs from one syllable to three, and the counts do not fall in any order down the page, so a student cannot guess the next answer from the last one. An illustrated rainbow sits beside the reference box. The answer key on page two shows every division and every filled bubble.
What’s Included
- A reference box defining a syllable, with shamrock worked as an example
- Seven St. Patrick’s Day words ranging from one syllable to three
- A writing line for each word so students break it into parts themselves
- Fill-in bubbles for one, two or three syllables beside every word
- A full answer key on the second page
Three Reasons This Helps Kids
- Writing the parts out makes students show where the break falls, not just count
- The counts are scrambled, so no student can answer by following a pattern
- Holiday words carry the practice, so the vocabulary is worth learning too
Teacher and Parent Ideas
Use this St. Patrick’s Day syllables worksheet during a March word study block, as morning work in the week before the holiday, or as homework a parent can check against the key. Before students start, clap each word aloud together and have them hold up fingers for the parts they hear. After they finish, ask them to find three more words around the room and sort them by syllable count on the back of the page. A 3rd grade syllables worksheet like this one also works well beside a spelling list, since breaking a long word into parts is how most students learn to spell it.
