Multimedia and/or Interactive Materials

Multimedia and/or interactive materials may eventually be developed for all lesson plans. Following are examples of potential formats.

Multimedia materials are a very time consuming effort to develop and reacts differently with different browsers.

Therefore, primary development will focus on printable materials (Coaching Instructions and Student Worksheets).

The multimedia and/or interactive materials will be developed as needed and/or as time permits.

Most Common Rules for Dividing Words into Syllables Find the first vowel, look at the next two letters:
Rule of 1: If there is only one consonant in the next two letters after the first vowel, cut the syllable in front of the consonant.		Example: donut do \| nut
Rule of 2: If there are two consonants in the next two letters after the first vowel, cut the syllable between the two consonants.		Example: muffin muf \| fin
Rule of le: Cut the syllable in front of the consonant before the le ending.		Example: maple ma \| ple
Rule of Compound Words: If you see words within the words, cut the syllables to see the words.		Examples: grapefruit grape \| fruit
