This document discusses syllabication and dividing words into syllables. It explains that syllables are parts of words that contain a vowel sound, and can be either open or closed. Students show improvement in skills like spelling, decoding, and pronunciation when taught to divide words into syllables. The document provides guidance on identifying syllables using markings on vowels and consonants, and lists common syllable patterns like VC/CV and V/V. Examples are given and explained to demonstrate how to apply the patterns when dividing multi-syllable words.
