In this video, the teacher explains how good readers can tackle longer multisyllable words by breaking them into syllables and using the bossy e strategy. The teacher demonstrates how to identify vowel-consonant-e (VCe) word patterns and how the bossy e tells the vowel to say its name while remaining silent itself. This lesson equips students with effective strategies to decode and understand tricky words while reading.
