Mga Nakikita sa Paaralan

Below is the link to a 7-page PDF file that teaches the Filipino names for people and objects that can be seen in a school classroom. There are three lesson sheets and four pages that can be made into a mini-booklet. For the mini-booklet, the pages can be cut and stapled together. Two words not commonly used but included here is the Filipino word for notebook which is kuwaderno (although my beloved high school teacher in Filipino would always say "Ilabas ang kuwaderno!"), and the word for watercolor which is akwarela. Some of the clip art images were obtained from www.openclipart.org. The other images were illustrated and are owned by samutsamot_mom.

Pagpapantig Worksheets

Below are two PDF files with worksheets that ask the student to syllabicate Filipino words. The first set of worksheets are appropriate for first to fourth graders. The second set of worksheets are for fifth graders and older students. I did not make answer keys because as I have explained in my previous post, the syllabication of certain Filipino words are changed because of the syllabication rules of the Ortograpiyang Pambansa of the Komisyon ng Wikang Filipino. As a teacher or tutor, you may choose to follow the old or new way of syllabication and check the worksheets accordingly. You may print and distribute these worksheets to your children or students, but you may not do so for profit. You also may not upload these PDF files in any other website such as Scribd or SlideShare, or cloud storage sites such as Google Drive or Dropbox. Pagpapantig 1 Pagpapantig 2

Syllabication of Filipino Words

SYLLABICATION OF FILIPINO WORDS

A syllable is one unit of sound that forms the whole or part of a word. In Filipino, a syllable is called pantig and the syllabication of a word is called pagpapantig. When syllabicating words, syllables are separated by a middle dot called the interpunct (•) which is also called the interpoint, middot, or centered dot.

Syllable Forms
A syllable may be comprised of one vowel alone but a consonant needs a vowel to make a syllable. Syllables with two or more letters can have only one vowel. However, a syllable can have one or more consonants. The Filipino word for vowel is patinig (symbol: P) and the word for consonant is katinig (symbol: K).
