The main rules of syllabication are:

  • If a word contains a series of sequential consonants, consonants that work together to make a sound (or blend) should be kept together.

What is the purpose of syllabication?

Syllabication teaches students to read unknown words, increases their sight-word vocabulary, and aids in learning how to spell words (Torgesen, 2004; Moats, 2001; Curtis & Longo, 1999).
