Easy Syllabification Strategy for Decoding

The importance of syllabification knowledge in improving reading is well documented in the research. This session provides an overview of competencies required for reading with a focus on the benefits of syllabification as a decoding process and the current applicable research.

Participants will learn a simplified syllabification strategy for decoding unfamiliar words. Participants will then be given an opportunity to apply this simplified syllabification strategy to helping students decode unfamiliar words in passages of text rather than relying on guessing.

This session would be of interest to parents and teachers looking for a strategy to help children work out unknown words rather than relying on guessing.

Dr Lillian Fawcett is a specialist literacy teacher with over 25 years of experience and university qualifications in education and psychology. She has developed a range of spelling and reading programs based on well-research literacy acquisition and memory retention principles which has enabled her to successfully help hundreds of students improve their literacy skills.
