Many kids can successfully break down longer words when they know about dividing them by syllables. Open and close syllables are two of the first we teach. This helps them decode multisyllabic. even more important is teaching them to “flex the vowel“. Try the long vowel, then try the short vowel. We call this “set for variability.” This is a great way to teach open/closed! #readingtutor #ortongillingham #phonicsforkids | Sher Marshall
