Long Words, Part by Part

Warm-up, learn, try it together, practice, then a quick check. About 15 minutes.
What children learn in Level 4
- A long word is just short parts in a row. Don't try to read it all at once. Take responsibility. It looks huge!
- Tap the parts: re, spon, si, bil, i, ty. Six small syllables.
- Each part has one vowel sound. Some are open, like re. Some are closed, like spon. Some end in a silent e, or a consonant and l e.
- To spell a long word, say each part, write it, then check the whole word.
Georgia's K-12 English Language Arts Standards:
- 5.F.P.4.b — Decode and encode single-syllable and multisyllabic words of all syllable types.
