Syllable Swing


Explanation:
The reference is from the website of an international German school.
The term seems to be related to the Freiburger Rechtschreibschule (FRESCH), so you can find more information about it if you look for FRESCH methode/strategie + Silbenschwingen.


Example sentence(s):
  • The division of words in syllables and the syllable swing are basic strategies for reading and writing, which we systematically build on from the 1st class.

sounding out and acting out syllables


Explanation:
That's what it is, essentially. No idea if there's a set term for this in English.

method of co-articulating syllables combined with movement (syllabic principle)


Explanation:
According to my research, it appears that there is no set term for Silbenschwingen in English.

I would suggest describing the method as:

He often omits longer words he doesn't know. He was told to use the (syllabic principle by Buschmann) method of co-articulating syllables combined with movement.

In addition, if this is a report for the doctor/speech therapist, I would insert in brackets: (syllabic principle by Buschmann).

Dabei gab es lange vorher schon die „Buschmann-Methode“, entwickelt von Frau Buschmann, Schulpsychologin in Waldshut. Sie entdeckte, was lange vergessen war: die Silbe als Basis zum Richtigschreiben der Wörter. Sie verband jedoch das Lesen und Schreiben in Silben mit BEWEGUNG. Und das war neu. Und das brachte auch – sogar bei erwachsenen Analphabeten – große Erfolge bei allen Schulkindern, die Schwierigkeiten mit dem Lesen und Richtigschreiben hatten.

I have been applying this method for over twenty years now in the
Kennedy Tutorial School , and the results speak for themselves.

The next steps, based on the findings of educational psychologist Heide Buschmann, saw them progress from letters to syllables, then from syllables to the complete word. This also works inversely, thanks to hyphenation. Words are broken up into smaller components: syl-la-ble, words, dic–ta–tion. We also incorporated motion into these exercises again, with the children clapping while they pronounced the syllables, or they emphasised these by swinging their arms

The training of reading and writing followed a syllabic principle developed by Buschmann. Writing training had three major characteristics: (i) the child said a word while writing it down (co-articulation); (ii) co-articulation was performed on a syllable-by-sillable basis (syllabic speaking) ; and (iii) before the child had learnt co-articulation, he or she practiced syllabic speaking with flourishes of the writing arm while stepping sideways in the writing direction (flourishing exercise)

syllables in coordinated rhythm


Explanation:
The element of rhythm in saying the syllables contribute to the learning process. However I could find no one word which "Silbenschwingen" could translate into.
