Syllabicate
(“sound-it-out”)
Used for decoding to increase fluency
A great warm-up activity prior to reading
an expository passage
Time: 15 minutes
Materials:
Horizontal
handout of words spread
out (three to four rows of four
words)
Document camera/Projector
Or whiteboard
Open
syllables
Closed syllables
Long vowel sounds (ū)
Short vowel sounds (ŭ)

functional
unique
properties
components
attached
Type
up the words horizontally on a word
document
Spread them out and increase the font
It should take up the entire page
Use
a dictionary to determine the correct
syllables and sound pronunciation
www.dictionary.com
For example:
Molecule mol’Ə-kūl mol-uh-kyool
mol/e/cule
Set a timer or specify how much time the students have to put
slashes in between the syllables
Have students complete one row at a time or whole page
Student(s) respond with, “In between the ____ and ____…”
You can have one student at time tell you where to put the slashes or
call on a group of students sitting at the same table
The student(s) tell you to put the slash in between which two letters
Give feedback
Have another student agree or disagree with the slash and explain
their strategy
Cue the student(s) by saying, “short /o/…long /u/…schwa…closed
syllable” etc.
If students miss a syllable, model the strategy again by clapping or
tapping out the word
Reading the word
You say, “first syllable…second syllable… blend”
While you are saying this, you point or draw a half-circle under the
syllable.
