What is a syllable?
A syllable is a single, unbroken sound of a spoken (or written) word. Syllables usually contain a vowel and accompanying consonants. Sometimes syllables are referred to as the ‘beats’ of spoken language.
Syllables differ from phonemes in that a phoneme is the smallest unit of sound; the number of syllables in a word is unrelated to the number of phonemes it contains. For example: /b/, /k/, /t/, /ch/, /sh/, /ee/, /ai/, /igh/, /ear/ are all phonemes. The word ‘chat’ is made up of three phonemes (/ch/ /a/ /t/). The word ‘light’ is made up of three phonemes (/l/ /igh/ /t/). However, both the words ‘chat’ and ‘light’ have only one syllable each.
The number of times you hear a vowel (a, e, i , o, u) in a word is equal to the number of syllables a word has. A good way to identify syllables is to think about whether you need to change your mouth shape to say the next bit of the word / the new syllable.

Learning about syllables in primary school
Learning about syllables is part of learning how to decode and spell words. It helps children understand the conventions of English spelling, including when to double letters and how to pronounce the vowels in words they might not have seen before.
Teachers will often get children to clap out the syllables of a word, to help them to understand the concept. (A good game to introduce syllables is to ask each child to stand up and say their name, while clapping out the syllables.
)
For example:
- Cat has one syllable (words of one syllable are monosyllabic)
- Water has two syllables (wa / ter)
- Computer has three syllables (com / pu / ter)
- Category has four syllables (cat / e / gor / y)
Syllables in KS1 English
Children in Key Stage 1 will be expected to read words of two syllables. They may be shown how to split the words up into syllables, in order to help them sound them out. For example: if they are shown the word ‘thunder’ and get stuck, a teach may cover the second half of the word (‘der’) and ask them to just sound out the first syllable. Once they have managed this, they uncover the rest of the word and ask them to sound this out.
Children in Key Stage 1 will also learn to spell words with two syllables, at which point they will be encouraged to separate the two syllables themselves, in order to learn the spelling of the whole word.
Syllables in KS2 English
During Key Stage 2, children will progress to learning the spellings of words containing four syllables (or possibly more). They also learn about the use of syllables in poetry.
Children may learn about syllables through writing haikus. A haiku is a Japanese poem with three lines, the first containing 5 syllables, the second containing 7 syllables and the third containing 5 syllables.
This is a haiku about a frog:
Wet amphibian,
Gulps, blinks and flicks out his tongue
To snatch a black fly.
Writing haikus encourages children to think about syllables, but also to think very carefully about their word choices – it may be that one word has too many syllables and does not fit, so they have to think of a new, similar word that fits the given criteria.
Another poetic form based on syllable number is the limerick (the first, second and fifth lines rhyme and have the same number of syllables, usually eight or nine).

Syllable Games | Classroom Strategies
As students progress in their literacy understanding, they move from reading and writing single syllable words (often with consonant-vowel-consonant constructions) to reading and writing multisyllabic words. Instruction focused on teaching students about syllables often focuses on teaching different types of syllables (open and closed) and what occurs when syllables join together within a word.

Why teach about syllables?
- Dividing words into parts, or "chunks" helps speed the process of decoding.
- Knowing the rules for syllable division can students read words more accurately and fluently.
- Understanding syllables can also help students learn to spell words correctly.
Watch: Drumming Out Syllables
Students use a drum or tambourine to take turns drumming out the syllables in their names or other words. See the lesson plan.

Marker activity
This activity, from our article How Now Brown Cow: Phoneme Awareness Activities, is an example of how to teach students to use a marker (i.e., token) to count syllables.
The marker activity often used for word counting can be adapted for use in counting syllables. Teachers can provide each child with tokens and two or three horizontally connected boxes drawn on a sheet of paper. The children place a token in each box from left to right as they hear each syllable in a word.
Multisyllabic manipulation
This example includes several activities and a chart of multisyllabic words. One specific activity from this page is the Multisyllabic Words Manipulation Game. Teachers can divide words from reading selections into syllables, write each syllable on a note card and display the syllables in jumbled order. Have students arrange the syllables to form the words.

Differentiated instruction
for second language learners, students of varying reading skill, and for younger learners
- Use pictures instead of words in activities for younger and lower level readers
- Include auditory and hands-on activities (i.
e., clapping hands, tapping the desk, or marching in place to the syllables in children's names) - Include a writing activity for more advanced learners.

about - t r i - with e - n and - e This script allows you to divide words into syllables. Remember that the rules for separating words into syllables and the rules for hyphenation are different rules.
1. There are sounds of different audibility in Russian: vowels are more sonorous than consonants. It is vowels that form syllables, are syllable-forming. A syllable is one sound or several sounds pronounced with one expiratory push of air: vo-yes, na-y-ka.
There are as many syllables in a word as there are vowels.
Consonants are non-syllabic. When pronouncing a word, consonants "stretch" to vowels, forming a syllable together with vowels.
2. A syllable may consist of one sound (and then it is necessarily a vowel) or several sounds (in this case, in addition to the vowel, there is a consonant or a group of consonants in the syllable): rim - o-bo-doc; country - country; night light - night light; miniature - mi-ni-a-tu-ra.
If a syllable consists of two or more sounds, then it must begin with a consonant.
3. Syllables can be open or closed.
An open syllable ends in a vowel: water, country.
A closed syllable ends in a consonant: sleep, liner.
There are more open syllables in Russian. Closed syllables are usually observed at the end of a word: no-chnik (the first syllable is open, the second is closed), o-bo-dok (the first two syllables are open, the third is closed).
In the middle of a word, a syllable, as a rule, ends in a vowel, and a consonant or a group of consonants after a vowel usually goes to the next syllable: no-chnik, announcer.
In the middle of a word, closed syllables can form only unpaired voiced consonants [th], [p], [p'], [l], [l'], [m], [m'], [n], [n' ] (sonorous): may-ka, Sonya-ka, so-scrap-ka.
4. Sometimes two consonants can be written in a word, but one sound, for example: get rid of [izh: yt ']. Therefore, in this case, two syllables are distinguished: i-live .
The division into parts from-live corresponds to the rules of word hyphenation, and not to division into syllables.
The same can be traced on the example of the verb to leave, in which the combination of consonants зж sounds like one sound [Ж:]; so the division into syllables will be - y-e-squeeze , and the division of the word to carry is leave-reap .
Errors are especially often observed when singling out syllables from verb forms ending in -tsya, -tsya.
The division curl-sya, presses-sya is a division into parts for transfer, and not a division into syllables, since in such forms the combination of letters ts, ts sounds like one sound [ts].
When dividing into syllables, the combinations of the letters ts, ts go entirely to the next syllable: vi-tsya, squeezes.
5. When combining several consonants in the middle of a word: two identical consonants necessarily go to the next syllable: o-leak, yes; two or more consonants usually go to the next syllable: sha-pka, equal.
The exception is consonant combinations in which the first is an unpaired voiced (sonorant): the letters p, p, l, l, m, m, n, n, y: mark-ka, dawn-ka, bul-ka, stel-ka, lady-ka, ban-ka, ban-ka, lay-ka.

Another type of word play is called charade. The components of the charade are separate small words, which add up to a larger word. For a riddle-charade, a description of each part of it is given, and then the meaning of the whole word. And the word is not always broken into syllables.
The word "charade" comes from the French "charade" - the word to be found. This last word-guess is divided into parts that have an independent meaning. Each part of the main word is usually also encrypted in poetic lines.
Charades are described in ancient literature, and they flourished in the salon culture of the 17th-18th centuries, and then disappeared from literature, remaining only as a game.
Here, for example, how the word “sail” can be encoded in poetry:
Three letters flutter like clouds,
Two are visible on a man’s face,
And the whole sometimes turns white “In the fog of the blue sea.”
Here are more examples of riddle words for charades: ox-window, caramel, par-mustache, grape-grad, boy-cat.
Perhaps you yourself will try to come up with tasks for them? Just keep in mind that not any words are used for charades, but nouns in the nominative case.

We all know about the benefits of solving riddles for children and adults. These entertaining puzzles are an excellent simulator for developing intelligence, expanding vocabulary and improving a huge number of useful skills. In addition, solving riddles is an unusually exciting activity that can captivate boys and girls of different ages for a long time and make them compete with each other.
A special place among the riddles for children and adults is occupied by charades - a kind of puzzles composed in poetic form. Although charades can be simple, in the vast majority of cases they are incredibly difficult to guess, which is very popular with those who like to train their intelligence.
What is a charade?
A charade is a verbal entertainment that presents a small riddle in the form of poetry or prose. Moreover, the answer to such a riddle may consist of one or more words, depending on the complexity of the charade and the nature of its compilation.
In most cases, in the charade one rather long word is guessed, which can be divided into several parts. Each of these parts is another word, mostly monosyllabic. To solve a charade, you need to break it into several riddles, determine the answer to each of them, and then add these parts together.
Meanwhile, charades can be somewhat different. In particular, in such a riddle, a pair of words can be guessed that differ in one letter or in any other way. In this case, the text of the charade will contain an explanation of each of these words, as well as an indication of one or more differences between them.
Charades are an extremely exciting and useful entertainment that helps to expand vocabulary, develop ingenuity, and with the help of these interesting puzzles, you can arrange a fun competition between children of the same age or family members.
In this case, charades will additionally contribute to the development and improvement of socialization skills, as well as the rallying of the children's team.
Children's charades with answers
For children who are just getting acquainted with these peculiar riddles, even the simplest charades may seem too complicated. That is why, before playing this game with a child, he needs to explain in an accessible way what exactly it is.
For the best understanding, the text of the first charades should be written in large block letters and accompanied by simple drawings illustrating the hidden words. As a first experiment, charades are best suited in which not one, but 2 words are guessed, for example:
There is a small word
From just one syllable.
And in the word that, inside,
Change "U" to "I",
And instantly a bird
Turns into a fish. (Lun - Lin)
This word
This is what it means:
With "I" -
Health depresses.
And change "I"
Starting with the letter "O" -
He gives health
One hundred percent. (Alcohol - Sport)
Classic charades, in which only one word is guessed, for beginners should not include more than two parts. In most cases, the length of the searched word in such riddles is from 6 to 8 letters. In particular, the following verbal tasks are suitable for younger students:
You will find my first syllable when
When water drips into the droplet.
Pronoun - second syllable,
And in general - your school table. (Steam + Ta = Desk)
On the first is a sentry,
The second green in the forest,
And in general - only getting dark,
You will lie down and your working day is over. (Lent + Spruce = Bed)
My first syllable is a preposition,
The second is a summer house,

Complicated charades with answers
In more complex charades, 3 or more parts are already connected. Here, prepositions, pronouns and musical signs are much more common, which are quite difficult to explain in the text of the riddle. Such charades are perfect for organizing a small competition between bored guys or in the company of adults.
In addition, in order to solve such riddles, children often have to be combined into groups of several people, since one student cannot cope with them. Try to offer your child the following charades with answers, which are also suitable for a fun company:
With chalk at grandfather Seryozha the loafer
Painted the entire fence on Monday.
He painted the upper part of the face.
And Seryozha wrote after that
A letter that looks a lot like a hoop.
Marsh swamp, without any rules there,
In essence, who is he, Seryozha, such. (Forehead + O + Shaking = Lobotryas)
You will find me at the bottom of the blue sea.
And in me from beginning to end
Two prepositions and three "tsa". (U + S + Three + Tsa = Oyster)
First, dancing until you drop in the palace
And the first letter after that, and at the end
The dog that was the first in space.
What a very glorious deed!
Charade written out exactly. Here is the result:
I was able to hide a musical instrument in it. (Bal + A + Laika = Balalaika)
I thought and wrote down in a charade:
At first, a large and friendly team,
Who can sing any tune.
He is something like a jackdaw, a nightingale,
But only without a letter at the beginning,
So that you all know the island on the Dnieper. (Khor + (P) Titsa \u003d Khortitsa)
What is rhythm - the concept of rhythm in music, why is it needed
Performance of a musical composition is impossible without rhythm. This is the basis without which it is impossible to compose and reproduce a melody. Music is not complete without rhythm, but it exists outside of any composition. Various rhythms are observed in the surrounding world: the heartbeat, the work of mechanisms, the fall of water drops.
Rhythm is not only the prerogative of music; it is in demand in other areas of art.
The general concept of rhythm in music
This term refers to the precise organization of musical sounds in time. A pause and a long piece of music alternate between themselves. Each note is played for a specified amount of time.
It combines with other notes to form a rhythmic pattern.
There is no specific quantity in music that would measure the duration of a note. So this characteristic is relative: for each subsequent note, the sound is shorter or longer than the previous one, several times - 2, 4, and so on.
The meter is responsible for the internal organization of the rhythm. The total time of the notes is divided into beats, which are weak or strong. The latter are accentuated, that is, they are played with greater force - this is how a musical beat is obtained.

Rhythm is not only a musical concept. It is subject to various processes occurring in the surrounding world.
Rhythm in versification
This concept is found in literary and folklore works.
The verse is not complete without rhythm, which organizes speech in such a way that it is ordered and alternated according to the laws of versification. Thanks to rhythm, stressed and unstressed syllables, or, respectively, rhythmically strong and rhythmically weak, replace each other in verse.
Literary theory defines several systems of versification based on a certain rhythm:
Syllabic - the line contains the same number of syllables.
Tonic - the number of unstressed syllables is indefinite, and the stressed ones are repeated.
Syllabo-tonic - syllables and stress are in equal numbers. Stressed syllables are repeated in succession.
Natural rhythms
There are many different rhythms in nature. Biological, physical, astronomical and other phenomena arise with a certain sequence. Day turns to night, after summer comes autumn, there is a new moon and a full moon.
In living beings, after certain time intervals, wakefulness or sleep occurs.

Interesting facts
The ancient Greeks did not have the concept of musical rhythm, but there was poetic and dance rhythm.
A work can exist without meter, since it is an abstract concept, but not without rhythm, which is a physical quantity: it can be measured.
Since the rhythm includes a time component, we can say that music and time are interconnected. Melody cannot exist outside of time.
To measure musical time, there is a conventional unit - the pulse. They call it a sequence of short beats that are played with the same force.
Instead of output
Musical rhythm is the basis of composition.
