Syllable Rule Review:

1. Separate words between double consonants in the middle of a word.
Example: rab/bit, lit/tle.
2. Separate words between two consonants with a vowel on each side of
them. Example: mon/key, lis/ten.
New Rule:
3. When a word has a prefix (beginning), suffix (ending), or both, the
first division occurs between the prefix or suffix, and then the root
word is divided if necessary.
Example:
forming form/ing, reform re/form, reforming re/form/ing
