Teacher's field guide

What Students Need to Do: Students listen for the two parts in a spoken word. They spell each syllable using known vowel and consonant patterns, then join the syllables to write the whole word.
What Mastery Looks Like: Students can say a two-syllable word, break it into parts, and spell each part using a known syllable pattern. They combine the parts and check that every syllable has a vowel.
Common Misconceptions: Students may spell the whole word sound by sound without separating its syllables. They may omit a vowel, confuse open and closed syllables, or forget consonant doubling in words such as rabbit.
How to Assess It: Say the words sunset and robot. Have students divide each word into syllables, spell it, and circle the vowel pattern in each syllable.

Lesson moves

Give pairs letter tiles to build sunset, rabbit, and cupcake, then have them split, label, and rebuild each word by syllable.
Ask, "How does splitting robot into syllables help you spell it?" Students write the word and explain one spelling choice.
Play Syllable Sort: students draw picture cards, say each word, clap its parts, spell it, and sort it by syllable pattern.
Students make a two-syllable shopping list with words such as napkin, muffin, toothpaste, and paper, then check each syllable.
