This strategy helps them break down unfamiliar words into smaller, more manageable parts, allowing them to decode and comprehend the word's meaning. By segmenting words into syllables and pronouncing each sound, children can make connections between the sounds they hear and the letters they see, aiding in their overall word recognition and comprehension skills.Rate this question:
