About this printable
Record word stress patterns using a consistent notation.
What is on the page
The printable has eight entry rows with four labeled columns: Word, Syllables, Stressed syllable, Reference. Two larger writing areas are labeled Before you begin and What to carry forward. Use a short identifier in the name/project space and define the date or period covered before making entries. If you need another page, repeat that identifier and add a page number by hand so separate records can be read in order.
How to use it
Check pronunciation in a reliable audio source and mark the stressed syllable before practicing aloud.
A practical starting point
Use one consistent mark for the stressed syllable and write a key at the top of the page. Record the pronunciation source and variety when relevant. Listen, say the word, and compare it again in a short phrase. Word stress is not the same as sentence emphasis, so keep those observations separate.
