Syllable Stand and Sit
FSF - Phonemic Awareness Segment and Blend Syllables
The student will practice orally segmenting and blending syllables by standing up and sitting down alternately for each syllable.
Warm Up


Let's move our bodies to show the parts of words called syllables. We'll stand up for the first part, and then sit down for the second part.

Watch me do it for the first word. The word is "pencil." It has two parts, "pen" and "cil."

I will say the first part while I stand up. Watch me: "pen" (stand).

The second part of the word is "cil." I'll say it as I sit down: "cil" (sit). Put it together: "pencil."

Stand when you say "pen." Sit when you say "cil."


Let's try the word "paper" together. Ready? Stand up with me and say the first part, "pa" (stand). Sit down and say the second part, "per" (sit). Put it together: "paper."
If Correct: Great job. Let's practice another one.

If Incorrect: Let's try it together one more time. Try to do what I do. "Pa" (stand up together), "per" (sit down together). "Paper."

Stand and sit together.
Try to get a correct response before proceeding.


OK. This time I want you to try the word "crayon" all by yourself. Stand for the first part, and sit for the second part. Don't forget to say the whole word at the end.
If Correct: You've got it. "Cray" (stand), "on" (sit). Let's try some more words.

If Incorrect: Try it with me. "Cray" (motion to stand), "on" (motion to sit). Put it together: "crayon."

Emphasize the
two syllables in "cray-on."
Motion to the student when to sit and stand this time.
