This worksheet is designed to help students practice identifying and counting syllables in words. The task is to count the number of syllables in each of the four words shown and then mark that number of circles below each word.
Here is the solution for each word:
1.
elevator: This word has 4 syllables (el-e-va-tor). You would fill in 4 circles.
2.
babysitter: This word has 4 syllables (ba-by-sit-ter). You would fill in 4 circles.
3.
alligator: This word has 4 syllables (al-li-ga-tor). You would fill in 4 circles.
4.
aquarium: This word has 4 syllables (a-quar-i-um). You would fill in 4 circles.
The title of the worksheet, "4 Syllable Words," confirms that all the words provided are intended to have four syllables. Therefore, the correct answer for every word on this sheet is to fill in all four circles.
