Decoding multisyllabic words is an essential skill that has a direct impact on reading
accuracy, fluency, and the comprehension of text. The task of decoding or pronouncing
longer words is often a challenge for many students in grades 3 and above. The
Multi-syllable Phonics Routines (MSRC) are designed to help students solve the mystery of
multisyllabic words by recognizing patterns, identifying correct vowel sounds, and applying
syllable division rules. The routines are ideal for whole-class instruction, designed to take
just 5 minutes a day, or to use as part of a small-group intervention lesson.
Offers teacher- and student-friendly routines on six syllable types
? Use with students in grades 3 and up ? Teach students how to find patterns, divide syllables, and read multi-syllable words
? Can be used two ways:
1. Supplement your core instruction with your whole class in 5 minutes a day
2. Use with students who need more instruction in multi-syllable words during 30-minute
intervention groups
