A. Most Essential Learning Competency

● Read phrases, sentences, and short stories consisting of
2-syllable words and the questions about them
B. Objectives
At the end of this learning activity, learners will be able to:

Dividing words into parts, or “chunks” helps speed up the

process of decoding. Knowing the rules for dividing syllables helps
you read words more accurately and fluently.
Two- syllable words are words that, when spoken, have two
definite sounds. To easily syllabicate 2-syllable words, you need to
clap or tap out the syllables first. Focus on each syllable separately
and say the word more than once.
To begin, try to do this activity. Note: Please ask your mother/
father/ sister/ brother to do this activity with you. Let the learner clap
and read the syllables of each word.
