Segmenting an unknown word into syllables and segmenting syllables into onsets and rimes or sounds is a skill that supports spelling of unknown single and multi-syllable words.
After direct instruction and guided application in segmenting multi-syllable words to hear, identify, and record sounds in unknown words, the First Grade Butterflies applied syllable segmentation to spell unknown words with a partner- using the Word Wizard iPad app.
Utilizing the "movable alphabet" option within the app and the settings customized to "read on touch", the first graders worked cooperatively and collaboratively with a partner to apply syllable segmentation for spelling unknown multi-syllable words.
After collaboratively hearing, identifying, and recording the sounds in the unknown word, the partners used the "read on touch" capability of the app to check for accuracy.
With an inaccurate pronunciation of the word, the Butterfly Spellers discussed, analyzed, and manipulated sounds within each syllable... and rechecked for accuracy.
