37. 80% of multisyllabic words have one or more affixes

38. An affix is a word part that can be found in the beginning, middle or end of a word.

39. Being able to quickly identify and pronounce affixes increases fluency and accuracy in reading longer words.

40. Vowel Combinations Most students know the sounds of the consonants.
Many students do not know the sounds of vowel combinations (ay, ai, au, er, ir, ur, ar, a-e, o-e, i-e, e-e, u-e, oi, oy, or, ee, oa, ou)
Some vowel combinations have two sounds (ow, oo, ea).

41. Vowel Conversions
When a single vowel is encountered in a word, always try the sound first.
If a real, recognizable word is not made, then try the vowel name.

42. Context
The words read must be real words that other English speakers have said or heard.
Exact pronunciations for longer words will require the use of context clues in the sentence.
