Special education teachers can also benefit from having this resource in their toolkit to work with their students any time. On the first two pages, there are 6 boxes each. Each box has a picture in it. Beside each picture, there are 4 boxes with the numbers 1 – 4. This is for counting syllables. Students will look at the picture. Say the name of the picture. Count how many syllables that word has. Circle the correct number to represent the number of syllables it is. The pictures included are: -Policeman -Astronaut -Dentist -Plumber -Teacher -Zookeeper -Chef -Doctor -Detective -Fireman -Nurse -Mailman Learning to count syllables is a critical skill for little learners as it supports their ability to properly decode words when they can better understand the division between syllables. When students become better decoders, they ultimately become better readers. This activity also includes two pages for students to trace the words of the career. You can have many additional uses to these pages because it can gauge a conversation about community workers and careers. Students can take part in a conversation on what they think each of these workers do on a daily basis. This is a great opportunity to discuss why these workers are vital to our community. All of these pages can be printed and laminated to be used over and over again.
