Many kids struggle making the transition from decoding single-syllable words to multi-syllable words. Exposing them to the most common syllables can be helpful. With frequent practice, they can become familiar with these and learn to read larger words. Included in this set is a list of 2, 3, 4 and 5 syllable words. Choose a few words to focus on each day and gradually make them more challenging. Tips for presenting the words are included using the tiles and magnetic board in the set. Set contains 70 magnetic tiles that are about .75" high and vary from a little less than .5" to a little over 1" wide. They are on heavy magnetic sheets. The firm-but-flexible board that comes with the tiles is 8.5x11" and hole-punched to fit in a 3-ring binder. It has a dry-erase surface (marker not included) with a blank white side and the other has areas for the syllable lessons, including a line to write the words. This would be useful for your hands-on learners who struggle a bit with phonics or just need practice with syllables. ~ Sara
