The Six Syllable Types - Reading. Guest Author - Heidi Shelton Jenck Have you ever wondered why parents and teachers ask children to clap for each syllable they hear in words, often without really understanding the point of all that enthusiastic clapping?

The Six Syllable Types - Reading

So, why do we teach children to hear syllables in words? Children do benefit from learning the concept of syllables, such as hearing them in words, understanding the syllable-spelling connection, and knowing that every syllable has a vowel. There are six common types of syllables found in English orthography. Teaching how these syllable patterns work in reading and spelling can be a powerful skill building activity for students, especially those who struggle to read, write, and spell. Once a child understands the concept of syllables, and can hear them in words, they are ready to begin learning the common syllable-spelling patterns. I teach the six syllable types to explain things my older students wonder about.

YALSA. Greetings, YALSA members and interested parties! The first month of the journey of this year’s presidential theme, Striving for Equity Using YALSA’s Teen Services Competencies for Library Staff is nearly over, and soon we will be looking at equity issues through the lens of each of the ten competencies. But before we move into August, I want to express appreciation to the many members and others who recently have taken the time to talk to me about what YALSA means to them, how YALSA could help them in their day job, and how fulfilling working with teens can be. All of this makes me full of gratitude. So before we move into the month-by-month examination of the theme, I decided to explore how in this time of inequity, outrage, and discord, gratitude can help break through the negativity and show us the path to achieving our goals.

It all started earlier today. A few of my boy friends are coming over tonight, and I like to bake things when people come over because it lets me try out recipes and then not have to eat all of the final product. This is a project that requires about two sticks of butter, so I'd rather feed some of it to other people so I don't have to eat all two sticks of butter on my own. Or with Alex's help.

To tell you the truth, two sticks of butter are the last thing we need. I wanted to make a pie or some sort of tart, but didn't have any ideas. I didn't have a whole lemon.

The Book-Of-The-Semester Project (2010-2011) The Clarifying Routine: Elaborating Vocabulary Instruction. By: Edwin S. Ellis When you think of vocabulary, there is a good chance that you think of long lists of words from social studies or science textbooks, spelling word lists, or even the humongous lists of terms to study for college entrance exams. Zillions of flash cards also may come to mind. No doubt you share the common childhood experience of having to "go look up the words in a dictionary, write the definition, and then write a sentence using the term" — but how much of that vocabulary do you remember now? Do you remember how you could rote copy the definition of a term as part of a homework assignment, but have no real idea what the definition meant and still get an 'A' on the assignment?

Perhaps the least effective way to study vocabulary is the "look and remember" technique. Ross Perot, with his unique use of the English language, said it best — "That dog don't hunt!
