Description

This bundle brings together two powerful supports for multisyllabic decoding: step-by-step word-solving routines and clear syllable-type visuals. Students learn how words work and what to do when they get stuck.

What students learn:

How to break down and read long words with confidence
How syllable types guide vowel sounds and word structure
How to choose the right strategy based on the word

What makes this bundle effective:

Three flexible word-solving methods
Students learn when and how to use each approach
– Method 1: Break words into syllables (underline vowels, split, blend, adjust)
– Method 2: Work with prefixes and suffixes
– Method 3: Problem-solve tricky words (start at the end, middle, or adjust vowel sounds)
Explicit syllable type support
Covers all six syllable types:
– Closed
– Open
– Silent E (VCe)
– Vowel + R (r-controlled)
– Consonant + LE
– Vowel Team
Built for transfer, not just practice
Students move from learning the steps to applying them during real reading
Clear, consistent routines
Simple language and repeatable steps build independence over time
Visual supports students will use
Posters anchor instruction. Notebook pages support daily practice and reference.

What’s included:

Word-solving posters in multiple sizes (8.5×11, 8.5×14, 11×17)
Syllable types posters in multiple sizes (including large display options)
Half-size student reference pages for notebooks and folders
Multiple visual designs for flexible classroom use
Color and grayscale versions

How to use:

Teach one strategy at a time with modeling and think-alouds
Use syllable posters to build understanding of how words work
Display posters and refer to them daily during reading instruction
Practice together with guided word work
Move students into applying both syllable knowledge and solving strategies during real reading

Perfect for:

Reading intervention and MTSS groups
Small group instruction
Word study and decoding routines
Student notebooks and decoding toolkits
Classrooms using science of reading practices

Why this bundle works:

Older struggling readers need more than rules. They need clear, usable routines and a way to make sense of words quickly. This bundle gives them both so they can decode, adjust, and keep reading without shutting down.
