SYLLABLES
Syllable
-a unit of sound that forms part of a
word. It contains one vowel sound,
either alone or with other sounds.
Dog: one vowel sound, one syllable (dog)

Headphones: two vowel sounds, two syllables (head –

phones)

Elephant: three vowel sounds, three syllables (el-e-phant)

Beautifully: four vowel sounds, four syllables (beau-ti-ful-ly)


There are 6 types of syllable. These are;
1.Closed Syllables
2.Open Syllables
3.Vowel-Consonant-e Syllables
4.Vowel Team Syllables
5.Consonant-le Syllables
6.R-Controlled Syllables
Closed Syllables
A closed syllable has one vowel letter followed
by one or more consonants. The vowel in a
closed syllable is usually short. Here are some
examples:
• Cat
• Sock
• Band
• Clock
Open Syllables
An open syllable ends with a long vowel sound.
No consonants close in the vowel; it’s left open. For
example:
• Day
• Hi
• Me
• Go
• You
Vowel-Consonant-e Syllables
A vowel-consonant-e syllable has a silent e at the end.
The e isn’t pronounced, but it changes the vowel before it
into a long sound. Here are examples for you to
understand more:

• Fill → File (Short I → Long I)


• Cap → Cape (Short A → Long A)
• Kit → Kite (Short I → Long I)
• Hop → Hope (Short O → Long O)
Vowel Team Syllables.
Multiple vowels often join forces to produce one long vowel
sound. These combinations are called vowel teams or vowel
digraphs. The English language has tons of vowel teams.
Here are some common ones:
• ai (rain)
• ee (peel)
• oa (boat)
• oo (wood)
• ey (they)
Consonant-le Syllables
Consonant-le (C-le) Syllables are found at the end of a word
and always have three letters: a consonant, the letter L, and a
silent E. The E is not pronounced, and the vowel sound is a soft
"uh" (schwa sound). Here are some of the examples:
• Table (ta-ble)
• Candle (can-dle)
• Turtle (tur-tle)
• Puzzle (puz-zle)
• Jungle (jun-gle)
R-Controlled Syllables
R-Controlled Syllables happen when the letter R follows a vowel and
changes the way the vowel is pronounced. The R takes control, making
the vowel sound neither short nor long. That’s why it's sometimes called
the "Bossy R." Here’s an example of Common R-Controlled Vowel
Patterns:
• AR – (star, car, park)
• E R – ( h e r, t i g e r, b u t t e r )
• IR – (bird, girl, shirt)
• OR – (fork, corn, storm)
• UR – (turn, curl, purple)

the correct category.
The Brave Little Turtle
In a quiet pond, there lived a small turtle named Toby. He loved to
explore the water and play near the rocks. One day, a strong storm
came, and the wind made the waves big and wild. Toby felt scared,
but he knew he had to be brave. He found a safe corner under a
large leaf and waited for the storm to fade. When the sun came
out, Toby smiled. He learned that even the smallest creatures can
be strong.
