Multi-Syllabic Word Strategies — Chunking and Syllable Types

Big words can look scary — but every long word is really just a few small chunks stuck together. When you chunk a word, you break it into its syllables, read each chunk separately, and then blend them back into the whole word.

What this lesson teaches

1Chunk a multi-syllabic word into its syllables
2Count the number of syllables by clapping the beats
3Use chunking to read longer words not seen before
