Children say each word aloud, clap the beats, and colour the circle for 1, 2, 3 (or 4) syllables. This is listening practice, not spelling.
Easy uses short familiar words with 1 or 2 beats. Hard adds longer words such as helicopter.
Say the word, clap the beats, colour the circle.
Say the word. Clap the beats. Colour the circle for how many beats you hear.
A phonological-awareness generator built from a curated picture bank. Syllable counts are stored with each word — they are never guessed from the spelling.
Skills practiced
Print tip: Icons print dark for black-and-white printers. The numbers 1, 2, 3 (and 4 on Hard) sit above the circles so children know what to colour.
