Crack the word
Sound-Tile Board Build a word one tile per sound — spot when two letters make one sound. Syllable Chunker Chip a long word into say-able syllable chunks, then read it. Closed or Open? Decide a syllable’s type — closed, open, or silent-e — and know if the vowel is short or long. Name the Syllable Type The complete CLOVER set — closed, open, silent-e, vowel team, r-controlled, and consonant-le. Look at the word, name which of the six types it is. Affix Snap Snap a prefix, a root, and a suffix together to build — and mean — a long word. Read It Smooth See how a smooth reader scoops a sentence into phrases, then mark the phrasing yourself. Predict the Sound Predict which sound the letters make, then find out why — predicting first sharpens the ear. Forge Reads Read short decodable passages — tap a hard word to chunk and hear it — then a quick check. Word-attack inside real text. Heart Words Some words don’t play by the rules. Map the parts that behave, and flag the one you have to know “by heart” — the letters that don’t spell their usual sound. Word Chains Swap one sound and read the new word — cat, cot, cop, top. Tap the part that changes each rung, then blend the new word aloud.
