About This Worksheet
This worksheet is a syllable identification activity using multiple-choice word sets. It teaches students to recognize words with two syllables. The subject area is early literacy, designed for kindergarten and Grade 1. Students compare words and select the correct syllable count. For example, picnic is chosen over cat.

Curriculum and Grade Alignment
This worksheet targets phonological awareness in early elementary grades. The learning goal is distinguishing between one- and two-syllable words. Students should already be able to pronounce simple words. This skill supports decoding and reading fluency. It aligns with CCSS RF.K.2.b and TEKS ELAR 1.2.B.

Student Tasks

Common Challenges and Misconceptions
Students may choose based on word length rather than sound. Some may not pronounce words fully. Others may circle more than one option. Teachers can emphasize saying words aloud before selecting.
