Six pages for reading long words a part at a time, made for 4th grade. Students write words such as invention, calendar and thunderstorm with a dash between their syllables and count them, cut out words to sort by their number of syllables, put scrambled syllables in order, write the prefix, suffix and base word of words like disagree and careful, and read sentences to choose the long word that fits. Every word was split into syllables by hand and checked against a count from its vowels.
Model reading a long word: cover the prefix and suffix, find the base word, then read the rest a syllable at a time and blend. Each syllable has one vowel sound, so look for the vowels first.
Find a long word in a book or on a sign and read it together part by part. How many syllables does it have?
Worksheets for reading words of three syllables and more, such as invention, calendar and thunderstorm, by their syllables and word parts. Students split words into syllables, sort them by how many they have, put scrambled syllables in order, find prefixes, suffixes and base words, and choose the long word that fits a sentence.
