Curriculum

  • VC2E1LY04

    Use knowledge of short vowels, common long vowels, consonant blends and digraphs to read and write one- and 2-syllable words <ul> <li>using knowledge of letters and sounds to write words with short vowels (for example, ‘man’) and with common long vowel sounds (for example, ‘time’)</li> <li>using knowledge of letter sounds to write one-syllable words with consonant digraphs and consonant blends, for example ‘wish’ and ‘rest’</li> </ul>  

  • VC2E1LY05

    Understand that a letter can represent more than one sound and that a syllable must contain a vowel sound <ul> <li>recognising that letters can have more than one sound, for example the letter ‘u’ in ‘cut’, ‘put’ and ‘use’ and the letter ‘a’ in ‘cat’, ‘father’ and ‘any’</li> <li>recognising sounds that can be produced by different letters, for example the ‘s’ sound in ‘sat’ and ‘cent’</li> </ul>

  • VC2E2LY04

    Use phoneme–grapheme correspondence knowledge to read and write words of one or more syllables with vowel digraphs, less common long vowel patterns, consonant blends and silent letters (phonic knowledge) <ul> <li>reading words with digraphs where one letter is not pronounced (for example, ‘knife’ and ‘thumb’) and using them in writing</li> <li>providing the sounds for less common sound–letter matches (for example, ‘ight’) and using them in writing</li> <li>reading words with vowel digraphs (‘ee’, ‘oo’, ‘ai’, ‘ay’ and ‘ea’)</li> </ul>

  • VC2E3LY03

    Understand how to apply knowledge of phoneme–grapheme correspondences, syllables, and blending and segmenting to fluently read and write multisyllabic words with more complex letter patterns <ul> <li>reading and writing more complex words with consonant digraphs and consonant blends, for example ‘shrinking’, ‘against’ and ‘rocket’</li> <li>reading and writing consonant digraphs representing different sounds, for example ‘machine’, ‘change’ and ‘school’</li> </ul>

  • VC2E4LY03

    Understand how to use and apply phonological and morphological knowledge to read and write multisyllabic words with more complex letter combinations, including a variety of vowel sounds and known prefixes and suffixes <ul> <li>recognising unstressed vowels in multisyllabic words and how these vowel sounds are written, for example ‘builder’ and ‘animal’</li> <li>using phonemic awareness and morphological knowledge (including blending and segmenting sounds, syllables and morphemes) to read and write multisyllabic words with more complex letter combinations, for example ‘straightaway’ and ‘thoughtful’</li> </ul>

Teaching the Six Syllable Types Has Never Been So Easy!

Are you about to embark on a journey into the wonderful world of syllable types with your students? Then do we have the resource for you!

This comprehensive teaching presentation has been designed to teach your students about the six syllable types and how these can be helpful when breaking words into their syllables. It contains:

  • teaching slides for each of the six syllable types
  • a ‘click and check’ interactive review activity for each syllable type
  • a ‘drag and drop’ interactive review activity for each syllable type.

Tips for Extension and Scaffolding

If you have a mixture of above- and below-level learners, we have a few suggestions for keeping students on track with these concepts: 

🆘 Support Struggling Students

  • Provide students with a whisper phone to help them hear the sounds in each syllable/word as they complete the activity.

➕ Challenge Fast Finishers

  • Have students create word banks of words for each syllable type. Display these in the classroom as a reminder of the phonemic characteristics of each syllable type.

🧑‍ Group Learning

  • Project the slides onto a screen and work through them as a class. Have students record their answers in their notebooks or mini whiteboards.
