Teacher Erin Russo at the Windward School in Westchester, New York, is showing her students how to break up multisyllabic words that have suffixes. The class has already learned how to divide multisyllabic words with one or two consonants between the vowels (like “napkin”), so they are ready for harder words with suffixes like “invented” and “opening.” They focus on separating the suffix from the root word first.
