What’s this session about?

This session will address helping those kids who have splinter reading skills, but have few skills to unlock unknown words.

They guess based on the first letter or two.

They use pictures (not many pictures at this level) and what they know, or think they know, of the content.

Instruction must be cumulative, sequential, and systematic, so that students overcome the bad habit of relying on context and guessing to decode unknown words.

Louisa Moats

In this session, you will learn

The 6 syllable types
How to identify syllable types in a word
How to divide words into syllables and identify what the vowel says based on the syllable pattern
Gain confidence in your ability to present vocabulary so that students become more able and empowered in unlocking unknown words.

Let’s Do These Together

apron

think pr between the 2 vowels

blend to the end if possible

a pron

ә

distribute

Think:

4 vowels, but the e on the end is silent

So I will have 3 syllables

Divide between the 2 “i’s str (3 letter blend)

I’ll try putting s with the 1st syllable and blend to the end with tr – dis tr

Now I have to divide between the i and the u.

I’ll flex the b – dis tri bute dis trib ute

Distribute is a word I know.

Syllable Division Rules

Step One: Find and underline all the single vowel sounds. umbrella
Step Two: Count the number of consonants between the vowels. umbrella

Step Three: Divide the syllables according to the number of consonants between the vowels. um brel la

Dividing Words Into Syllables

Rule Share Fair

When there are 2 consonants between 2 vowels, each syllable usually gets a vowel

muffin

balloon

signal

Which word(s) have a schwa sound in them?

e

rules for dividing the syllables between the consonants

Two or 4 consonants between vowels

Usually divide the consonants evenly

ad mit

c c

swing shift

c c

rabbit

c c

Rules for dividing the syllables between the consonants

Four consonants between vowels:

in general, divide them evenly

may experiment with other ways

diphthong (keep digraphs together)

subscribe (keep 3 letter blends together)

seamstress

marshmallow

Dividing Words Into Syllables with One Consonant Between Vowels

Rule Flexing

When there is one consonants between 2 vowels, the vowel can go either way. Flex the vowel – try it with both syllables to find the real word

baconbacon

bac on

ba con

polish Brazil

bacon

Mark the syllable types.
Which word can be read 2 ways?
Which syllables have a schwa sound?

(Hint: there are 3)

One consonant between vowels:

Usually divide before the consonant

first vowel will be long

if it sounds like a real word you know – GOOD

tu na

o c

i ris

o c

hu man o c

rules for dividing the syllables between the consonants continued

If dividing after the vowel doesn’t make a

word you know. . .

try dividing after the consonant

Three consonant between vowels:

Generally put the first consonant with the first vowel, and the other two with the second vowel

Try to keep blends together

BLEND TO THE END

simply

mischief

um brella

mon ster

al phabet

contract

extreme

When there are 3 consonants between 2 vowels, divide the syllables and keep digraphs and blends together if possible

purchase
anthem
engrave
electric
orphanage
chemistry

With a partner pronounce the verb form of each of these words. What do you notice?

approximate

articulate associate deliberate duplicate

laminate graduate intimate moderate predicate

Verbs ending in the letters "ate"pronounce the letter "a" of the last syllable with the "long a" sound (the name of the letter "a", the sound of the words steak and make).
