Syllable Clap: practical multi-level activity for meaningful practice

Create and personalise a syllable clap activity with Easy, Medium and Hard options so the task changes with the level rather than repeating one generic format. The activity is designed for children to actually match, choose, sort, count, sequence, solve or respond according to the skill being practised, making it useful for families, teachers, tutors and SEN or SEND support.
