• A syllable is a part of a word pronounced as a unit. It is usually made up of a vowel alone or a vowel with one or more consonants. The word "Haiku" has two syllables: Hai-ku; the word "introduction" has four syllables: in-tro-duc-tion.
• Here's a Haiku to help you remember:
I am first with fiveThen seven in the middle --Five again to end.
• Because Haikus are such short poems, they are usually written about things that are recognizable to the reader. Animals and seasons are examples of recognizable topics children might enjoy exploring.

Spewing blood red hot lava
Ominous ash cloud
Different Haikus Autumn
Falling to the ground,
I watch a leaf settle down
In a bed of brown.
Spring
Spring is really here
Flowers are starting to bloom
A warm, golden glow
Treasures
Below the waterWaits gold, silver, brass, and more
For someone to come
Islands
