Splitting Words With R-Controlled Syllables

Strengthen syllable-splitting skills with this fun worksheet! Intended for students within the second- and third-grade learning level, students will practice identifying and splitting syllables, focusing on r-controlled syllables. By understanding that r-controlled pairs stay together when splitting words, young learners will be further set up for success in their reading and spelling assignments. 

Syllables are the building blocks of words, and honing the ability to break apart a word into syllables will help students become stronger spellers and readers as they begin to navigate more complex word compositions.
