Boost Your Spelling & Reading Skills by Learning the 6 Syllable Types - Version 2

Learners who struggle with reading or spelling need a structured and explicit approach to these subjects. Learning the 6 syllable types helps students determine how to spell a word based on the sounds the vowel has in each type of syllable. It also helps when reading so that students can divide a long word into its syllables and know what the vowel sounds are in each syllable. This helps students become more efficient readers & spellers, creating the strong foundation needed for spelling & reading multisyllabic and more challenging words. 

Please note: There are 2 versions of this class (titled Version 1 and Version 2). The format & flow of the classes are the same, but each version uses different words in our spelling and reading activities. They can be taken in any order, and taking both versions of the class will be a helpful way to review, reinforce, and practice the concepts taught. 

Our first class will start with ensuring learners know what a syllable is and how to divide a word into syllables, using vocal & visual strategies. We will then learn our first syllable type and how to identify its spelling pattern. Proceeding classes will include a review of the syllable types learned before, followed by learning a new syllable type and how to spell it when heard in a word. All 6 syllable types will be taught: closed, open, silent-e, vowel team, r-controlled, & consonant-le. We will discover what the vowel says in each of these syllable types and why it is important when we read and spell words. 

Class will be taught in a multi-sensory format, including visual tools to help the learner visualize what each syllable type is, short custom-made videos, and verbal, visual, & written methods to apply the syllable types to spelling and reading words. A positive and encouraging environment will be maintained throughout our class. Learners will become more confident in their spelling and reading abilities when they are able to notice and understand syllable types. 

A short homework assignment and extra challenge activity will be posted after each class, giving the learners a chance to practice spelling and reading the syllable types learned in class. If submitted to the teacher, she will reply within 24 hours with detailed feedback, encouragement, and spelling tips to remember. 

Class Breakdown:
Day 1: Closed Syllables
Day 2: Open Syllables
Day 3: VCe Syllables
Day 4: Vowel Team Syllables
Day 5: r-Controlled Syllables
Day 6: Cle Syllables

Please make sure to have a few supplies with you when you log into class:
•	pencil & paper OR dry-erase board, marker, & eraser
