In an effort to teach first- and second-graders how to decode words that have more than one syllable, the most effective method would be to ask the students to break up the multisyllable words into smaller, familiar, one syllable words. Doing this not only reinforces recognition of the smaller words, but makes it easier on the student when they only have to pronounce one syllable at a time.
