Syllables
Final stable syllables
Endings like -tion, -sion, -ture and -age behave as fixed units: “action”, “vision”, “picture”, “village”. They are read as chunks rather than decoded, and they carry the stress pattern of the word with them.
These appear everywhere in content-area text, so they matter more for comprehension in later grades than their frequency in early readers suggests.
