Alison: The Syllable Division Queen

Big Words Don't Have to Be Scary!

What if your child could learn to break big words into smaller, easier pieces-and actually feel confident doing it?

Meet Alison, The Syllable Division Queen(TM)!

When long words start showing up in books, homework, and classroom assignments, many children freeze, guess, skip the word, or become frustrated. But what if they had a strategy?

In this fun, rhyming superhero adventure, Alison swoops in to show children that big words can be broken apart, decoded, and conquered-one syllable at a time!

With her superhero powers, Alison introduces young readers to the syllable patterns that help unlock longer words, including:

• Closed syllables
• Open syllables
• Closed syllable exceptions
• Bossy E
• Vowel teams
• Bossy R
• Consonant-le
• Diphthongs

As children follow Alison's adventure, they begin to see words differently. Instead of looking at a long word and thinking I can't read that!, they can learn to think:

I can break it apart!

And that's where the magic begins.
