Every word has beats, called syllables. Clapping them — cat (1), rab-bit (2), but-ter-fly (3) — trains children to hear the parts inside words, which later helps them read and spell longer words.

Why clapping helps
Hearing the parts of a word is part of phonological awareness — a strong predictor of reading success. Clapping makes the beats something children can see and feel, not just hear.
