Words are made up of syllables. One of each of the pairs of
words on this page is divided into two syllables. With each pairs
of words, clap for each syllable. Then identify the two-syllable
words and identify where to divide the syllables. Two vowels
together usually stand for a long vowel sound, but some words
are divided into syllables between the vowels and each vowel
stands for a sound. Try both sounds to make a word that sounds
correct.

everything readers want or need to know

author gives them. This is called making
inferences.

page 233, write a brief summary of the
selection.
