ReadingMama1214 Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 DD 5 is at lesson 144 of OPGTR. It starts doing compound words around lemon 175. She can read compound words (something, hotdog, cannot, etc.) pretty well when reading. She's currently reading through The Little Bear Treasury aloud to me. I've looked through the book and there are some more difficult multi syllable words coming up (tomato, potato, etc.) and I am looking for resources to teach multi-syllable words. OPG has some lessons on it and I've looked at them to determine how to tackle them. Any other good free resources to teach syllables? I don't really want another curriculum or book to buy. I'd love a PDF or something printable. I do plan to continue OPGTR at our normal pace, but I need some way to effectively teach syllables as she comes across them in her reading. Thanks!

creekmom Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 My kids LOVED the Hooked on Phonics master reader series. Very high interest stories paired with computer games that have student chop up words into easily read parts. I credit the program with helping them transition to being able to read harder chapter books. https://www.amazon.com/Master-Reader-Hooked-Phonics-Phonics/dp/160143877X Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyLife Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 There are some videos on You Tube called Nessy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyLife Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 I was trying to link the videos for you, but go to You Tube and search Nessy Syllable Division. Eight videos on syllables. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms.Ivy Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Webster's Speller (free and typed nicely at Don Potter's website) and WISE OWL Polysyllables by Don Potter (you can get it on Amazon). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReadingMama1214 Posted December 31, 2016 Author Share Posted December 31, 2016 Thanks! These all sounds great and I'll have to look into them all. She can read Little bear and similar but needs help with the trickier multisyllable words. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lisabees Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Webster's Speller in Don Potter's site. I printed out and used a notched index card. Worked like a beauty! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I'll try that too. When I tell her how to break apart the word and sound the parts out (like tomatoes) she is able to blend the sounds into the word. It's getting her to recognize the syllables that we need to work on. She's still young and I don't want to push it, but I want her to have some understanding. She's loving Little Bear and the biggest challenge has been those words. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReadingMama1214 Posted January 1, 2017 Author Share Posted January 1, 2017 Books 4-8 of Explode the Code. Ooh I hadn't even thought of explode the code. I may order those when I order our spelling curriculum. How much writing is in them? And do I need the teachers books? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked at the speller and it's quite long. How do you utilize it without doing the whole speller? Just do the parts where it gets to multisyllable words?
