There are so many products available for younger students targeting production of multisyllabic words, but not many for students in upper elementary school and beyond. This is a great no-prep resource that was specifically designed for use with older children with apraxia; however, it can be used for all students targeting production of multisyllabic words. I think this could also be a great activity for students working on decoding multisyllabic words.

Words within each word family gradually increase in complexity so students can work their way up to words with 4+ syllables. There is a tiny marker under the vowel grapheme of each syllable. This can be used to assist in syllable segmentation and to mark the primary point of stress in the completed word.

All words included in each word family share the same morphological base (e.g. port, important; fend, defend) or an etymologically-related morphological base (e.g. peer, appear; exclaim, exclamation). For this reason, this resource can also help to increase students' morphological awareness and, in turn, their vocabulary knowledge, as they improve their speech.

This resource contains:

4 pages of words

28 word families

240 words
