Syllabication

Syllabication is the process of cutting words into syllables. Learners who have reading difficulties, study English as a Second or Foreign language often struggle with blending longer words with confidence and prosody. Learning syllabication enables reading with correct word stress, intonation, vowel sounds with cadence and clarity.
