Introduction to
Syllable Types
Activity:
- Teach children that there are 6 syllable types, and they can be used to help them figure out how to pronounce big words.
- Use the Lesson slides here to introduce the concepts. o Open & Closed can be taught together. o Final Stable should be taught separately. o R-Controlled, VCe, and Vowel Team can be taught together or separately.
- Use the syllable word cards as examples.
What is a vowel?
- All vowel sounds are voiced, which means you can feel the vibration of your vocal cords if you touch your hand to your throat.
What is a vowel?
- The two main types of vowel sounds are often called short vowels and long vowels.
- These terms can be confusing because we can’t hear any difference in the actual length of the vowel sounds. - Another name for short vowels is lax. - Another name for long vowels is tense.
What is a vowel? To remember the long (tense) vowel sounds, just think of each letter’s name: ā ē ī ō ū The mark that signifies a long vowel sound is called a macron.
What is a consonant?
- A consonant is a sound made by moving part of the mouth to touch another, such as the lips, tongue, or teeth.
What is a syllable?
- A syllable is a word or a part of a word with one vowel sound.
- A syllable can be pushed out in one breath. Your chin will usually drop slightly as you say each syllable in a word.
- Say the word for each picture and count the syllables.
How many syllables?
Open Syllables
- An open syllable has only one vowel.
- The vowel is the last letter in the syllable.
