== Pedagogical applications == {{see also|Counting (music)}} Clapping is often used to help people recognize the rhythm in sounds. It can be used to help musicians count out rhythms. It is also used to teach [[phonological awareness]] to students learning the ways words are constructed. They often clap out [[syllables]] to learn to break words into their component sounds.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Brown |first1=Carmen Sherry |title=Language and Literacy Development in the Early Years: Foundational Skills that Support Emergent Readers |journal=Language and Literacy Spectrum |volume=24 |issue=Spring 2014 |pages=35β49 |url=https://files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/EJ1034914.pdf |access-date=17 February 2020}}</ref>
