What are the first two syllable types taught to increase decoding skills?

Question

Understanding syllable types, will unlock the door to reading multisyllabic words. Once students understand closed and open syllables, the amount of words they are able to read increases.

Answer 1

It is important to note that a proper assessment in decoding is important to administer prior to any instruction so that the practitioner knows where to begin in regards a student's weakness in decoding. After that, following a systematic scope and sequence that is multi-sensory in nature is essential for efficient growth. Couple that approach with vocabulary and learning how to make word associations and growth is all but guaranteed in regards to reading and language development.
