Teaching · Reading Intervention
Practice sets for the division patterns your students are learning, drawn from a checked bank of 102 words. A student taps where each word divides, gets a hint after a miss, then names each syllable's type. You get results by pattern and a log by student code.
Included with Caveat Classroom and Whole-school licenses. Or get it in the Reading Intervention toolkit, $49 for 34 items.
The worked example is set to VC/CV, V/CV and VC/V for a made-up student, S-05, with three earlier sessions in the log. Start a set, or change the patterns first.

The patterns taught here, and where they come from.
Students look at the letters between two vowels. VC/CV: two consonants, divide between them (nap-kin). V/CV: one consonant, try dividing before it so the first syllable is open (ro-bot). VC/V: when that does not make a word the student knows, divide after it so the first syllable is closed (lem-on). VCCCV: three consonants, keep the blend or digraph together (pump-kin, chil-dren). V/V: two vowels that each make a sound (li-on). Consonant-le: count back three letters (ta-ble).
Every word in the bank (102 words) was checked when the page was built: each divider sits where its pattern says, every syllable has a vowel, and each syllable's type matches its letters. The divisions also agree with standard dictionary syllable breaks for these words.
Closed (cat), open (go), vowel-consonant-e (cake), vowel team (rain), r-controlled (car) and consonant-le (ble in table). Programs name these slightly differently; the Patterns and types tab lists the definitions used here.
Results count a word as right only on the first try, so the number shows what the student can do without help. The log keeps the patterns, the score by pattern, the syllable types named correctly and the words missed.
Practice, not an assessment: there are no norms or grade-level scores. Teach each pattern explicitly before it appears in a set.
The worked example is made up. Word choices are Caveat's own and contain no names; the practice follows widely taught patterns rather than any one published program. Support: team@caveatacademic.com.
