How to Teach Syllable types and Syllable Division Patterns.

Syllable division is not a perfect science, but when taught to your students they will gain an understanding of how to divide words. I don't believe in a lot of labeling or color coding. I feel the ultimate goal is to get students reading! I would love to hear what works for you or how you feel about my approach. Thanks for viewing!

Thank you, Ray, for taking the time to watch the video!❤️

While it is a few years old and opinions vary on whether syllable division is worth teaching, I still believe in giving students a tool to tackle more difficult words!
