Long words are short words stacked together. Learn to take them apart — by syllable and by meaning — and the documents adults hand you get easier to read.
How it works
- Syllables — find the vowels, find the break.
- Syllable types — six patterns tell you how a vowel sounds (closed, open, silent-e, vowel team, r-controlled, consonant-le).
- Word parts — beginnings and endings like non-, re-, -able and -ment carry meaning.
- Read — short passages in the shape of a driver’s handbook, a pay stub, a lease and a ballot measure.
