Breaking the Big Words Activity Book | Volume 1, Set 4

Breaking the Big Words Activity Book: Mastering Syllable Division The Breaking the Big Words series focuses on a critical early reading skill: syllable division. When young students can break words into syllables, they become confident decoders ready to tackle any word. Volume 1, Set 4 targets two- and three-syllable words with VC/CV syllable patterns and vowel pairs. Students first learn to divide syllables, then informally "break" words by inserting slashes. Two reinforcement activities give practice "breaking while reading" decodable sentences. This scaffolded approach builds mastery by incrementally introducing new syllable types. Multiple visual supports ensure student success. Supports fade as independence grows so students internalize the "break" strategy and apply it automatically when reading. Breaking words empowers emerging readers to decode any multi-syllable word. Confident decoders become fluent, comprehending readers. This activity set moves students toward that goal.
