The Startup Reading Two-Syllable Words Workbook, Book 6, is designed to help students expand their vocabulary and comprehension skills, ultimately becoming independent readers. Students will gain the necessary phonological awareness to analyze and decode two-syllable words. This understanding builds an essential foundation for students to begin reading multisyllabic words.
Throughout the workbook, students divide words into two syllables and write vowel accent marks before reading the words to provide a visual understanding of the vowel sounds. Examples of two-syllable words with a combination of long and short vowel syllables are:
kit|ten in|vite rep|tile cof|fee ig|nore ath|lete dol|phin chil|dren
Students continue to use this strategy as they read short stories with decodable and grade-level sight words. Each reading skill is introduced and reinforced through a series of fun, interactive activities that engage students in the learning process.
This course provides a video lesson for each page in the workbook. As the parent, you may participate with your child or request to schedule an online reading session with a Reading Pal, who will guide your child through the lesson.

| 1.01.1 Double-same – B6, Page 8, part 1 of 2 | FREE | 00:15:00 | |
| Column 1: In this lesson, students will be introduced to a strategy to read Super Challenge words. Students will understand that a syllable is also identified as a word part and every syllable has a vowel. The vowel sounds will be identified by having students write the accent mark above the vowel to identify whether the vowel in a syllable has a long or short vowel sound. This lesson has two parts: Students will review the reading code as a strategy to identify the long and short vowel sound in words. The vowel sounds can be further emphasized when students are prompted to identify whether the vowel in a syllable has a long or short vowel sound. Students will identify a pattern in Column 1 as words that have two consonants in the middle that are double-same. | |||

Students will understand that a syllable is also identified as a word part and every syllable has a vowel. The vowel sounds will be identified by having students write the accent mark above the vowel to identify whether the vowel in a syllable has a long or short vowel sound. Students will identify a pattern in Column 1 as words that have a digraph in the middle. A digraph is identified as two consonants that stick together to make a unique sound. The digraph counts as one consonant for the purpose of placing a syllable wall between two consonants. | |||

The consonant blend counts as one consonant for the purpose of placing a syllable wall between two consonants. Students will understand that a syllable is also identified as a word part and every syllable has a vowel. The vowel sounds will be identified by having students write the accent mark above the vowel to identify whether the vowel in a syllable has a long or short vowel sound. | |||

This lesson has two parts: Students will identify a pattern in Column 3 as words that have three consonants in the middle. Once students identify the digraph or consonant blend in the middle of the word as consonants that stay together, the next step of where to place the syllable wall becomes more visible for students to divide these Super Challenge words into two syllables and successfully read the words. Students will understand that a syllable is also identified as a word part and every syllable has a vowel.

Answer: The consonant “y” becomes a vowel when there are no other vowels in a word or syllable. There are three steps to apply the reading strategy in this group of words: Students will connect the “y” to the consonant before it to form a syllable; The consonant “y” now represents the vowel in the second syllable and makes the long vowel /e/ sound. Students will understand that a syllable is also identified as a word part and every syllable has a vowel. The vowel sounds will be identified by having students write the accent mark above the vowel to identify whether the vowel in a syllable has a long or short vowel sound. | |||

| 5.11.1 Spelling Bee, practice with words ending in “y” – page 52 | 00:12:00 | ||
| In this lesson, students will connect the strategies they are learning for reading to spelling. The words will be centered on the reading strategy: when you hear the vowel /i/ followed by a consonant sound in a word, those words follow the pattern of the reading code “i-with-a-vowel-after-says-i” with a Final-e and are written in the category with the example word kite. When you hear the long vowel /i/ sound at the end of a word, those words follow the pattern: the consonant “y” makes the long vowel sound /i/ at the end of a tiny word and are written in the category as in the example word sky. This lesson includes an element of fun for students draw a picture for the long vowel /e/ sound at the end of a word that follows the pattern, the consonant “y” makes the long vowel /e/ sound at the end of a two-syllable word as in the example word bunny. | |||
