Polysyllabic words When children are confident segmenting and blending consonant-consonant-vowel- consonant (CVC) words and consonant-vowel-consonant-consonant (CVCC) words, you can introduce polysyllabic words such as toothbrush, greenhouse, lunchbox. These two processes can help you support pupilsÕ reading and spelling of polysyllabic words. Reading Follow this process to help children read polysyllabic words: ¥ Write a two syllable word on the whiteboard. ¥ Draw a box round each syllable, for example tooth/brush . ¥ Clap the syllables. ¥ 'Sound-talk' the first syllable and then blend it t-oo-th/b-r-u-sh ¥ Say both syllables. ¥ Repeat and ask the children to join in. ¥ Repeat with another word. You can use 'Yes/no' questions for the children to practise reading and answering. For example: ¥ Can a frog swim in a greenhouse? ¥ Do you like thunderstorms? ¥ Will a truck go upstairs? ¥ Have you seen a trail left by a snail? ¥ Can you see the nest in the treetop? Spelling Follow this process to help children spell polysyllabic words: ¥ Write all the graphemes needed for the word on the board/flipchart in a random way. ¥ Say the word. ¥ Invite the children to tap and count the syllables. ¥ Ask them to draw a line/box for each syllable and show you. ¥ Ask the children to say the word quietly to themselves, to listen for the first syllable and then to write it and show you. ¥ Repeat with subsequent syllables. ¥ Write the word on the board. ¥ Repeat the process.
