Learning Goals: Decode Multisyllabic Words: Students will learn to break down and read multisyllabic words (containing 2 to 8 syllables) using systematic decoding strategies, improving their ability to tackle unfamiliar and complex words. Improve Fluency: Students will practice reading both narrative and informational texts aloud with improved accuracy, speed, and expression, aiming to increase their words-per-minute rate while maintaining comprehension. Expand Vocabulary: Students will develop their academic and domain-specific vocabulary, particularly with words commonly found in grade-level subjects such as science, social studies, and health. Enhance Comprehension: Students will work on answering text-dependent comprehension questions with greater ease as their decoding accuracy, vocabulary knowledge, and reading rate improve. Master Spelling of Multisyllabic Words: Through focused practice, students will improve their spelling of multisyllabic words, particularly those found in grade-level texts, reinforcing their understanding of word structure. Build Reading Confidence: By the end of the course, students will feel more confident in reading and understanding grade-level texts, helping them engage more successfully with classroom materials.
