SyllablePatterns
Syllable
A syllable is defined by an unbroken vowel sound in a word. Words can have one or more syllables. The number of syllables is like the number of beats in a word. Knowing different syllable division patterns can help you spell words correctly.
Closed Syllables
When the vowel sound in a syllable is short, it is "closed off" by a consonantsound. Closed syllables are surrounded by or end with one or more consonants.
Example:
contrast → con · trast
vessel → ves · sel
Open Syllables
When a syllable is "open," it ends with a vowel sound and usually makes a long vowel sound.
Example:
nomad → no · mad
student → stu · dent
Final Stable Syllables
A final stable syllable only comes at the end of a word. It consists of a combination of letters that makes a reliable sound. Some final stable syllables include consonant +le, -tion, -sion, -ture, and -age.
Example:
trem → trem · ble
cattle → cat · tle
migration → mi · gra · tion
diffusion → dif · fu · sion
fracture → frac · ture
disadvantage → dis · ad · van · tage
VCe Syllables
A VCe syllable, or "magic e" syllable, makes a long vowel sound that is spelled with a single vowel, followed by a single consonant, followed by a silente.
Example:
communicate → com · mu · ni · cate
graphite → graph · ite
r-Controlled Vowels
When a vowel is followed by an r in a syllable, the r changes the sound. An ar makes an /ar/ sound. An er makes an /ər/ sound. An ir also makes an /ər/ sound, as does a ur. An or may make an /ər/ sound or an /or/ sound. These sounds can also be made long, as in hire, here, and share.
Example:
artifact → ar · ti · fact
interact → in · ter · act
circulatory → cir · cu · la · tor · y
insecure → in · se · cure
VowelTeams
Vowels sometimes work in teams to make single sounds.
ea,ee
Syllables with an ea or ee vowel team often make a long e sound. However, sometimes syllables with the ea vowel team make a shorte sound.
Example:
increase → in · crease
headache → head · ache
oa,oe
Syllables with an oa or oe vowel team often make a long o sound.
Example:
oboe → o · boe
oi,oy
Syllables with an oi or oy vowel team often make an /oy/ sound, as in boy.
Example:
voyage → voy · age
ai,ay
Syllables with an ai or ay vowel team often make the long a sound.
Example:
betray → be · tray
There are many other vowel and letter teams. Here are a few more examples:
Sometimes there are syllablebreaksbetween two vowels. Then, each vowel makes its own sound, rather than working together as a team to make one sound. This is a Vowel-Vowel (VV) syllable division pattern.
