Reading and Spelling Multisyllabic Words
Do you have students who struggle with decoding multisyllabic words? Do they often look at the first letter and guess, even though they can read single-syllable words quite well? This Knowledge Block builds upon the Phonic Knowledge and 6-Step Lesson Plan sessions. We begin by briefly reviewing the 6 major syllable types in English and other key terminology. Participants will learn evidence-based instructional routines for teaching students to read and spell multisyllabic words.
