ABOUT THIS WORKSHEET

What your child practices.

Syllables are the big beats inside words, and clapping them is a party trick that also builds reading rhythm. The sheet swaps claps for drums to color — same skill, quieter classroom.

  • Clapping/counting syllables
  • Breaking words into parts
  • One-to-one beat-to-drum counting
  • Hearing that long words have more beats

On the sheet: Color one drum for every syllable in each word.
