Spelling Two-Syllable Words

Spell words you hear one syllable at a time, and split words at the end of a line with a hyphen.

Warm-up, learn, try it together, practice, then a quick check. About 15 minutes.

What children learn in Level 41

To spell a long word, break it into syllables and spell one part at a time.
Bas: b, a, s. Ket: k, e, t. Basket!
Your turn! Spell kitten one syllable at a time: kit, ten.
When a word doesn't fit at the end of a line, you can split it between syllables with a hyphen, a little line: bas-ket.
