Tap out the beats (syllables) in a word to slow it down and say each part clearly.
Say: Let us tap the word. One tap for each beat: but... ter... fly.
Watch for: One tap per beat, steady and even. Slow is good.
Stop when: Stop after a few smooth words, or when attention starts to fade.
Make it easier: Tap Clap it first so your child can copy the rhythm.
Make it harder: Try a longer word, or tap the beats without saying it out loud first.
A quick check so little hands don\'t change settings.
