My Syllable Type Book:
6 Syllable Type Book:
Do your students often struggle decoding words or need more practice learning their syllable types? My second graders often struggle with this concept, and need specific instruction on how decode words by learning the 6 syllable types. I designed this personal syllable type book for my students to have more practice learning the 6 syllable types, rules or decoding words by breaking them into the 6 syllable types, prefixes, suffixes, and more. My students loved this activity and their decoding skills have taken off. I hope your students enjoy this book, too!

There are 58 CVC cards and they have a double use.
How to use:-
1. The student looks at the picture and say what it is.
2. When s/he knows what the picture is they attempt to sort out the scrambled word by sounding out initial medial and final letters.
3. S/he then writes the word correctly on the line.
Other uses:-
There are 58 CVC cards which are made up of 29 pairs of onset and rime words and pictures.
- Lay out pairs of cards for the student to match the rhyming pictures and then unscramble the words and write them out correctly.
As an extension they could write funny rhyming lines into their ELA books.
E.g. A bug is in a jug. Dad is mad.
