Learning Outcomes
Worksheet → split words into syllables → helps a first grader read and write longer words with less guessing.

Syllable Word Splitting Worksheet
This worksheet helps a first grader split each word into syllables, like a-vo-ca-do.
At this age, word reading gets easier when children can hear the breaks inside words. If letter shapes stall, syllables give a clearer path for decoding and writing.
Pick one printed word, say it slowly, and have the child mark each sound piece in order, just like the example splits the word into small syllable chunks.
Because every word follows the same split-into-parts idea, the child can focus on listening and spelling instead of guessing the whole word. This worksheet is a short, shareable page for desk time or kitchen-table practice.
