If your students need instruction in reading multisyllabic words with long vowel digraphs, then this lesson plan is for you! In this hands-on lesson, students will use manipulatives to break apart and read complex, multisyllabic words.
Students will be able to use knowledge of syllabication rules to divide and read multisyllabic words that contain vowel digraphs.
Introduction
(5 minutes)
Ask students to share what strategies they can use to read words.
Tell the students that sometimes knowing certain spelling patterns can help us divide and read words that have multiple syllables (if necessary, remind students that syllables are the units in a word).
Tell the students that they will be learning how to read multisyllabic words with the vowel patterns of ea, ee, ai, oa, and ow.
