To read a long word, split it. A compound word splits between its two small words: cup·cake. When two consonants sit in the middle, split between them: rab·bit, nap·kin.
Examples: popcorn → pop·corn · kitten → kit·ten · cactus → cac·tus
Draw a line where the word splits, then write the two syllables.
