Syllable division of words is a key component to the word decoding process. As students advance into higher level reading material, the number of multi-syllable words increases, and it becomes necessary for students to have the skills to seperate a word into its parts.

No Glamour Reading: Syllables is an instructional book that will take your students through the progression of steps to master the skill of dividing words into syllables. Once your students learn to decode syllables, they will have the key to unlock the door to many difficult words when reading independently.

Teachers, parents, assistants, or tutors can use No Glamour Reading: Syllables to provide instruction, practice, and review for decoding words through syllable division.

The worksheets can be easily adapted for entire class, small groups, or the individual who can benefit from extra reinforcement.

Once your students learn to decode syllables, they will have the key to unlock the door to many difficult words when reading independently.

Activities include:

  • Identifying the number of syllables
  • Identifying the kinds of syllables
  • Practice dividing words into syllables
  • Identify correct division of words
  • Match words to pictures
  • Write names of pictures
  • Complete written exercises
