Multisyllable Word List
Free Download

Download the following multisyllable word list to teach students strategies for sounding out multisyllable words.  The list is also included in abc English: Book 2.  

This method of teaching multisyllable words is based on ideas developed by Reading Horizons.   Teach students these steps to breaking down big words: 

  1. Identify the vowels
  2. Cut between the vowels to make syllables
  3. Sound out each syllable


Start with easy multisyllable words and progress to more difficult words when students are ready.  The first groups of words on the list contain only simple closed and open syllables.  The more advanced groups of words contain syllables with blends, extra sounds, soft c and soft g, -y ending, -tion ending, and other important phonics concepts for new readers.
