Introduction

(5 minutes)
  • Gather students together for the start of lesson.
  • Say, “Do you know something amazing about words? All words contain syllables. A syllable is a combination of letters that have a vowel and make one single sound. When we’re reading, we sometimes call this a ‘chunk’ of letters, this helps us to read and spell lots of difficult words.”
