This is a brief overview about how to teach children about syllables and how to read multisyllabic words. Learning to read multisyllabic words is essential as children begin to encounter more complex text. Instruction about syllables should begin as soon as students are confident in their decoding of the more common patterns of single-syllable words.
This video addresses:
- Terminology: vowel, consonant, syllable
