[Music] do you ever find complicated words when you're reading I know I do I'm Mrs Mora today will learn to use vowels and word parts to read and understand multi-lab words each year Farmers collect sap to boil into maple syrup is you learn about Michigan trees you might come across complicated words the isav strategy helps us read long words isav means every syllable has at least one vowel this is almost always true since a syllable can only have one vowel sound vowels help us break words into parts here's our word first we'll mark all of the vowels which vowels do you see here's e e a u and E next we'll join any vowel teams into one vowel sound vowel teams are groups of letters that work together to make one vowel sound do you see any vowel teams e r is an R controlled vowel that says ER u e also spells R notice that this final e does not make the U say a long sound now let's identify known word Parts what do you see u e is a noun suffix that shows an action process or result it often joins the letter T in a syllable making this t say ch ch let's count the number of word parts to expect remember almost every syllable has at least one vowel so we'll count the vowel sounds to know how many parts to expect each vowel sound will count as one part let's count 1 2 3 4 four parts next we'll break the word into Parts since we counted four vowel sounds we'll need four parts CH is a part because it has one vowel sound a syllable can only have one vowel sound so we'll separate the other vowels syllables often split between consonants so we'll separate the first syllable between M and and P next e r and a make separate vowel sounds so they will be in separate parts let's say the word temp per a CH temperature is that a real word not quite sometimes we have to try different letter sounds to make a real word temporary tempure oh temperature or you may hear this pronounced as temperature temperature is a measurement of how hot or cold something is Farmers collect sap when the temperature is warm during the day but below freezing at night if you speak Spanish the worder can help you understand this word great work today keep reading and try the strategy the next time you find a challenging word [Music]
