Unit 9

Syllables – Words have parts that go together called syllables. A syllable is part of a word that can be pushed out in one breath. A syllable must have at least one vowel.

Closed Syllable Type – 

• A closed syllable can only have one vowel. 

• The vowel is followed by one or more consonants (closed in). The vowel sound is short. To indicate the short sound, the vowel is marked with a breve. a e i o u 

• All of the words the students have learned so far are closed syllables. 

• It is important to teach students how to visually recognize a closed syllable so that they can apply the short vowel sound to decode the word. 

• Mark up the syllable by underlining the syllable, placing a c below the line, and then putting a breve above the vowel.
