practice exemplars in the four-syllable categories. Word sorts are another great wayto practice seeing syllable breaks.

Teach the most common syllable juncture patterns by breaking several familiar wordsinto syllables. Closed syllables, most often broken in the middle of a doubledconsonant or two different consonants, have short vowel sounds, as in bitter(bit/ter). Open syllables have long vowel sounds, as in closing (clo/sing). Studentsbegin to notice these patterns without necessarily knowing the rules.

Introduce the Crazy Eights! Syllables game to your group by explaining that the deckincludes Cards with words that have one, two, three, and four syllables, as well as sixSwitch It! Cards, and two Skip It! Cards.

There are 12 Word Cards for each type of word, givingstudents repeated exposure to each. The idea of thegame is to match the syllable-number category of theword on the table with that of the players' Cards. Ifthat is not possible, players can change it to adifferent number by putting down a Switch It! Card.Players must say the number and read each word asthey put down a Card. For example, if the player's Cardis dinner, the player says, “Two syllables, like in dinner,”before putting down the Card.

Switch It! Cards and Skip It! Cards• Switch It! Cards: Players use each of the six Switch It! Cards in the deck to

change the rule that needs to be matched. For example, if a player alreadydraws or has a Switch It! Card along with principal, potato, and beginning inhand, and the top Card of the playing pile is sand, the player can use the SwitchIt! Card to change the number of syllables that players must match. The playerputs down the Switch It! Card and the principal Card, and players continue bymatching it with words that have three syllables.

• Skip It! Cards: Players use the two Skip It! Cards in the deck when they cannotplay a Word Card and do not have a Switch It! Card. For example, if a playerdraws or has a Skip It! Card along with four words with one syllable, and the topCard on the playing pile is difficult, the player can put down the Skip It! Card.Play continues using the difficult Card.

If a noun ends in y, we drop the y and add ies (buggy, buggies). (Refer to the tableon page 2 for the complete list of Playing Cards.) Practice the four types of pluralsusing word sorts.

Knowing these rules automatically makes students better spellers and increasesreading fluency. Use the Playing Cards and flash Cards to practice exemplars in thefour plural noun categories.

Introduce the Crazy Eights! Plural Nouns game to your group by explaining that thedeck includes cards with words that have singular nouns that become plural fourdifferent ways, six Switch It! Cards, and two Skip It! Cards.

There are 12 Word Cards for each type of noun, givingstudents repeated exposure to each rule. The idea of thegame is to match the type of noun on the table withthat of the players' Cards. If that is not possible,players can change it to a different rule by putting downa Switch It! Card. Players must say the rule and readeach word as they put down a card. For example, if theplayer's Card is glass, the player says, “Add es, like inglasses,” before putting down the Card.

Switch It! Cards and Skip It! Cards• Switch It! Cards: Players use each of the six Switch It! Cards in the deck to

change the rule that needs to be matched. For example, if a player alreadydraws or has a Switch It! Card along with family, party, trophy, and baby inhand, and the top Card of the playing pile is wolf, the player can use the SwitchIt! Card to change the rule that players must match. The player puts down theSwitch It! Card and the family Card, and players continue by matching it withwords that end in y, which gets changed to ies in the plural form.

• Skip It! Cards: Players use the two Skip It! Cards in the deck when they cannotplay a Word Card and do not have a Switch It! Card. For example, if a playerdraws or has a Skip It! Card along with four words with the rule “add es”, andthe top Card on the playing pile is shore, the player can put down the Skip It!Card. Play continues using the shore Card.
