Find the beats in a word
Recognise that a word can have more than one syllable.
1. Notice
A syllable is a unit of speech containing a vowel sound. The English word clever has two syllables. Written letters alone do not reliably tell you how a word sounds.
clev · er
2. Try it your way
Try saying clever slowly, then at a comfortable pace. Tap once for each syllable. This text activity cannot check your voice.
3. Check your understanding
