Important to know

Sounds are built into syllables and syllables are combined to form words. You must see and hear words in parts.

cat

nipcat

The word cat has one part made up of three sounds

The word catnip has two parts. You can hear it. Each part is one push of breath. When another push of breath is needed, it is a new part.

To read or spell longer words, you just have to do one part at a time. You can already read the parts separately, so it will be easy to read and spell longer words-one part at a time.

bath tub

napkin

The two vowels in this word are separated by consonants.

nap kin

sunfish 1.Should we divide this word?

2.Why? (two vowels are separated)

3.Where would you divide?

catnipcactustennis

When there is only one consonant, that consonant is needed to close in the first syllable.

habitrelish

When three consonants are between two vowels, including a digraph, the digraph stays together!

Review Concepts for Spelling

pun ish

Practice multisyllabic words with the syllable

cards

The letters l, s, and f, do not double in

multisyllabic words. The bonus letter

applies to one syllable words.

Compound words with ll, ss, and ff,

will remain doubled.

When an ‘s’ is added to a multisyllabic

baseword, spell the baseword one

syllable at a time and then add the ‘s’

Multisyllabic words ending in /ik/ are spelled

with an ic
