Reading Multisyllabic Words
View Curriculum Codes   
Description

This bright and colourful poster is a valuable reference tool for students and teachers in primary school classrooms. It provides a step-by-step guide for breaking down multisyllabic words, encouraging students to first identify prefixes, then suffixes, followed by other known syllables or sounds and finally, to say the word. This resource helps students develop their decoding skills and enhances their ability to read complex words.
