$9.50

Description

Start your older students on the path to decoding longer, multisyllabic words successfully by teaching syllable types. This kit is the first of the Solve It! Series and contains everything you need to teach and practice these syllables, including 150 most common closed syllable cards and 59 closed multisyllabic word cards, all formatted to print on a popular tear-apart labels brand for fast manipulative creation!

Research shows that using the syllable approach helps students decode words, improving their fluency. Of course, once students are reading with more fluency, they are better able to put brain power toward understanding the ideas in the text.
