Giving students specific strategies for decoding multisyllabic words is crucial. I feel so fortunate to have been trained in Sound-Write because they put a big emphasis on this starting in grade 1. I now do the same both in my one on one tutoring and my partnerships with schools. This conversation is a crucial one for schools to consider. I would love others to check out my Sustack article that relates to this.

I lay out a way to study longer words that integrates spelling, phonics, grammar and vocabulary.
