A syllable is a unit of sound in a word, typically consisting of a vowel sound or a combination of vowels and consonants. To count syllables, you can:
- Count the number of vowel sounds in the word.
- Break the word into parts where each part has a vowel sound.
#### Step 2: Count Syllables for Each Word

Cat:
- Vowel sound: "a"
- Number of syllables:
1
- Correct box: Color the box labeled "1".
2.
Blueberry:
- Vowel sounds: "u" and "e-ry"
- Number of syllables:
2
- Correct box: Color the box labeled "2".
3.
Dinosaur:
- Vowel sounds: "i" and "no-saur"
- Number of syllables:
3
- Correct box: Color the box labeled "3".
4.
Ear:
- Vowel sound: "ear"
- Number of syllables:
1
- Correct box: Color the box labeled "1".
5.
Tiger:
- Vowel sounds: "i" and "ger"
- Number of syllables:
2
- Correct box: Color the box labeled "2".
6.
Zebra:
- Vowel sounds: "e" and "bra"
- Number of syllables:

- Correct box: Color the box labeled "2".
#### Step 3: Final Answer
Here is the breakdown of the correct answers:
1.
Cat: 1 syllable → Color the box labeled "1".
2.
Blueberry: 2 syllables → Color the box labeled "2".
3.
Dinosaur: 3 syllables → Color the box labeled "3".
4.
Ear: 1 syllable → Color the box labeled "1".
5.
Tiger: 2 syllables → Color the box labeled "2".
