After taking my district SOR training, I struggled to find a well-organized resource for reference when planning and during my lessons. I have used several books and tools but the organization was clunky and not aligned to the scaffolding of OG beyond single-syllable words.

To solve this problem, Morgan Learning created a quick, user-friendly resources in the Syllable Division Word Lists (by Phonics, Type, & Pattern).

This set of word lists is sorted by

• ➡️ phonics complexity (CVC, Digraphs, or Blends)

• ➡️ syllable type (open, closed, magic e, vowel pair, bossy r, consonant-le)

• ➡️ number of syllables (2 or 3), and

• ➡️ syllable pattern (VC/CV, V/CV, VC/V, V/V).

Features of the Resource

Each word list provides

• ❇️ list number,

• ❇️ syllable type(s),

• ❇️ focus syllable pattern,

• ❇️ number of syllables, &

• ❇️ links to aligned resources.

Remember to...

• ✴️ Review “Rule Breakers” with your students. These may break as an open or closed syllable, however, they have the wrong vowel sound or break another rule. We write the label “Op” for “open” and cross it out in my class.

• ✴️ Discuss dialects with your students and encourage them to justify or debate where a word may break and what type of syllable it may be. Some people say the word differently and would break it differently.

• ✴️ Ask your students how they know where to break a word or how they know the syllable type. This allows them to discuss their reasoning with peers and practice justifying their reasoning.
