    Syllabication is the process of breaking words into syllables based on patterns of vowels and consonants. This allows readers to understand syllable types and vowel sounds to approximate pronunciation and spelling. A syllable contains a single vowel sound, and good readers chunk long words into manageable units like syllables. Understanding prefixes, suffixes, and syllable breaks helps students recognize and read multisyllabic words.

    What Are Syllables?

    Syllabication is the process of analyzing the


    patterns of vowels and consonants in a word
    to determine where the word breaks into
    syllables. This enables readers and spellers to
    identify syllable types and their vowel sounds,
    recognize consonant diagraphs and blends,
    and thus arrive at an approximate
    pronunciation and spelling of the word.
    Understanding Syllables
    A syllable is a unit of pronunciation containing
    a single vowel sound. For students in second
    grade and beyond, knowing how to decode
    unfamiliar multisyllabic words is essential
    because most of the new words they will
    encounter in print are “big” words.
    Research shows that when good readers
    encounter a long, unfamiliar word, they
    assign the word a pronunciation by chunking
    the letter patterns into manageable units.
    These units can be phonograms, prefixes,
    suffixes, and syllables.
    PREFIXES & SUFFIXES
    Just as phonograms are useful chunks,
    prefixes and suffixes also help students
    recognize and pronounce multisyllabic
    words. To decode big words, students
    need to recognize common suffixed and
    prefixes, use as logical syllable breaks,
    and pronounce them as whole units.
    Most of the time, a prefix or a suffix will
    make its own syllable.
