How the lesson starts: Decode Multisyllabic and Irregular Words

Mochi eats long words
Meet Mochi, a small dragon with a big appetite for words. Mochi never swallows a long word whole. Mochi takes small bites, one chunk at a time. Then she puts the bites back in order!
One bite, one vowel sound
Watch Mochi bite the word remember. Re, mem, ber. Three bites! Each bite has one vowel sound. A bite like this is called a syllable. Now say the bites in order, fast. Remember. Yum!
Let's fix mixed-up bites
Oops! Mochi's bites got mixed up: ture, ad, ven. Which bite comes first? Say the word slowly. Adventure. Ad comes first, then ven, then ture. Put the bites in order and read it fast. Adventure!
