Did you know?
• 50% of English is rule governed and completely regular
• 37% of words have only one irregularity
• 13% irregular87%
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.

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

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

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
rab bitc c
Rules for dividing the syllables between the consonants
• Four consonants between vowels:
– in general, divide them evenly
– may experiment with other ways
• diph thong (keep digraphs together)
• sub scribe (keep 3 letter blends together)
• seam stress
• marsh mal low
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
bacon

• Mark the syllable types.• Which word can be read 2 ways?• Which syllables have a schwa sound? (Hint: there are 3)

Rules for dividing the syllables between the consonants
• 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 aword you know. . .
try dividing after the consonant
cab in c c
hab it c c
trav el c c
Rules for dividing the syllables between the consonants
• 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
• sim ply• mis chief• um brella• mon ster• al phabet• con tract• ex treme
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
• comprehend

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).

Suffixes
• Depends on syllable type of word & number of syllables in the word
• Depends on the ending being added– Suffix begins with a vowel– Suffix begins with an “i”– Suffix begins with a consonant
Sample Vowel Suffixes
• -ed• -en• -able• -er• -ent • -ar• -ation• -ous• -or
• -itis• -ive• -ing• -ist• -ical• -ible• -ibility
Consonant suffixes
• -ly tra gic ly
• -ment in cre ment
• -ship pen man ship
• -less clue less
• -ness hap pi ness
• -ful cup ful
• -tion tran si tion
• -sion ses sion
• -cian mu si cian
Vowel suffixes beginning with “i”
• -itis
• -ive
• -ing
• -ist
• -ical
• -ible
• -ibility
The Schwa Sound
Sound is often determined by placement of the accent within a word.
Any vowel can become a schwa sound in an unaccented syllable
Incredible compliment beckon Alaska
Determining Accent
• Easier once students recognize the root in polysyllabic words
• Accent is most likely to be on the word root
Patterns of Accent
• Primary Accent:– Stress (syllable pronounced the loudest) is on
one syllable
• Secondary or tertiary Accent:– Weaker stress on another syllable
Accent Generalizations
• Accented syllables are pronounced according to their syllable type.
A las ka c
• Unaccented syllables are pronounced as a schwa sound.
A las ka
Accent Generalizations
• Accent the first syllable in two or three syllable words and pronounce according to syllable type
– If word does not sound like a word you know, move the accent
• Accent the second syllable vowel and pronounce according to syllable type
Accent – Two syllable wordscontinued . . .
• When a word can be either a noun or a verb . . .– The prefix is accented if it is a noun . . .
– com J bine
– The root is accented if it is a verb . . .– com bine
Accent in Three Syllable Words
• The first syllable is usually accented while the vowel in the second syllable is a schwa.– min is ter
• When the word consists of a prefix, root and a suffix, the accent is usually on the second syllable.– in dent J ed
Accent in Four Syllable Words
• The accent is generally on the second syllable in a four syllable word.
– in ves ti gate– mag netJ ic ly
Accents controlled by suffixes
• Suffixes beginning with “i”– -ic
• Accent on syllable before this suffix
– -ity• Accent on syllable before this suffix
– -ion ( pronounced as /e un/ or /yun/ )• Accent on syllable before this suffix
– -tion, -sion, -cian• Accent is on syllable before these suffixes
