Breaking the Big Words VOLUME 4 (V/V) Josh Morgan

This is Volume 4 and the Orange Bundle of the "Breaking the Big Words" Syllabication Activity Series. This bundle contains three activity sets of "Breaking the Big Words." This activity series provides scaffolded, research-based instruction on dividing syllables, identifying syllable types, and generalizing the skills to decode words and sentences. Perfect for small groups, differentiation, and intervention! The Activity Sets focus specifically on one or two syllable patterns and types. This, the Fourth Volume and Orange Bundle, introduces the V/V syllable pattern with each syllable type. Each activity set introduces a new syllable type and includes all previously taught types. Anchor words are used as a visual support on each activity sheet to remind students of strategies and the placement of each label. To ensure skill generalization to basic reading, on the same activity sheet, students break words (slash between syllables) BEFORE reading a word list then break WHILE reading sentences. Sight words are controlled in the series and consist primarily of PrePrimer and Primer Dolch words. Each Activity Set of "Breaking the Big Words" employs three levels of scaffolding, embedded differentiation, a strong visual component, developmentally appropriate activities, and an instructional framework (Scope and Sequence).
