The Reading Universe structured literacy lesson plans for phonics follow a predictable structure that includes the essential components for teaching students to read and spell, including multisyllabic words. Each part of the plan has a specific purpose and works to support the overall goal of the lesson using direct, explicit instruction.
The lesson plans below are free to download and use in your classroom to teach multisyllabic words.
Once students have a solid understanding of syllable types, you can begin teaching them how to apply that knowledge to longer, multisyllabic words. These lessons help students break words into smaller parts, making them easier to read and spell.
