Video Transcript
Multisyllabic words have more than one syllable. Many words in textbooks and novels have more than one syllable. These words can look long and difficult to read, but this lesson presents a strategy that helps students break down larger words into smaller parts that are easy to read. Then, students can put the small parts together again to read the entire word.
Keep in mind that the sooner students learn these basic concepts, the sooner students will be able to read and spell more words.
