Help your kids learn proper pronunciation by counting syllables. Most words they'll encounter have 1-3 syllables, making them simple to say. Have them repeat the words in your worksheet after you. Focus on longer words with more than two syllables.
Explain prefixes (words added to start of another word to give it a new meaning) and suffixes (added to end of word to change its meaning) to your kids with examples like 'unhappy' (prefix) and 'forgetful' (suffix). Now, help your child complete this worksheet, including circling words and checking boxes.
Question your students if the worksheet is entertaining. They may respond negatively! Nonetheless, this activity will bring satisfaction while learning the distinction between a long and short I sound. Students read the words in the maze and only follow the words with the short I sound to finish the exercise. Grasping the difference between long and short vowels is demanding, but this worksheet helps students understand this reading skill.
