About the Syllable Sort Worksheet

This interactive and printable worksheet, that aligns with the Common Core State Standards, Syllable Sort, engages young learners in understanding syllable patterns through a basketball-themed sorting activity. The worksheet presents six common words on basketball graphics that students need to sort into two categories: one-syllable and two-syllable words. The creative design combines sports imagery with literacy learning, making the educational experience both fun and memorable.

The worksheet features a clear, visually appealing layout with two basketball hoops labeled "One Syllables" and "Two Syllables," and includes a variety of words like "running," "fish," "doll," "faster," "blanket," and "house." The sports theme adds an element of play to the learning process, helping students visualize the sorting activity as a game of basketball where they must "shoot" each word into the correct hoop based on its syllable count. This innovative approach transforms a fundamental phonological awareness exercise into an engaging educational activity.
