Syllabication: The Building Blocks of Words
What are Syllables? The Beat of a Word

Syllables are like the little parts that make up a word Each syllable has one vowel sound, like a beat in music
The Power of Vowels
1 Vowel Sounds 2 The Core of Syllables
Every syllable has at least one Vowels are the heart of
vowel sound syllables

3 Syllable Separation
Vowels often help us separate words into syllables
Syllabication Rules: Let's Dive In!
Rule #1: One Syllable per Vowel Example: "cat"

If a word has one vowel, it usually has one syllable One vowel, one syllable
Example Time: Let's Break Down "Rabbit"
One Vowel One Syllable

The word "rabbit" has one vowel sound Therefore, "rabbit" has one syllable
Rule #2: Two Vowels Together
Two Vowel Team Example: "train"

When two vowels appear together, they often work as a team "ai" works together to create one vowel sound
Example Time: Let's Break Down "Panther"
Vowel Team One Syllable

"an" in "panther" makes one vowel sound "Panther" has one syllable
Rule #3: Consonants Can Help
Consonants and Syllables Example: "lion"

Consonants can sometimes help us identify syllables The consonant "l" helps divide "lion" into two syllables
Example Time: Let's Break Down "Lion"
Two Vowel Sounds Two Syllables

"Lion" has two vowel sounds: "i" and "o" The consonant "l" helps us hear "li-on"
Example Time: Let's Break Down "Tiger"
Two Vowel Sounds Two Syllables

"Tiger" has two vowel sounds: "i" and "e" The consonant "g" helps us hear "ti-ger"
Example Time: Let's Break Down "Camel"
Two Vowel Sounds Two Syllables

"Camel" has two vowel sounds: "a" and "e" The consonant "m" helps us hear "cam-el"
Example Time: Let's Break Down "Turtle"
Two Vowel Sounds Two Syllables

"Turtle" has two vowel sounds: "u" and "e" The consonant "t" helps us hear "tur-tle"
Example Time: Let's Break Down "Hornet"
Two Vowel Sounds Two Syllables

"Hornet" has two vowel sounds: "o" and "e" The consonant "r" helps us hear "hor-net"
Vowel Teams: Working Together
Double Vowels Vowel Digraphs Diphthongs
Two vowels together can make a single Two letters creating one vowel sound Two vowels that glide together
sound
Practice Makes Perfect!
Now that we've explored syllables, let's practice breaking down words! Remember, the more we practice, the better we'll become at
recognizing syllables.
