The walking vowel icon you see in that photo is also included in this pack and I explain how and why I use that with open syllables. I’ve included these hand visuals in my syllable pack as well.Īs you can see these hands on ideas can be great visuals and very helpful as a scaffold to your young readers on better understanding open and closed syllables. I also use the ideas from 95% phonics to teach open syllables with an open palm and closed syllables with a fist. First I have them find the vowels in the word, then they can slide the long stick up to break up the words into syllables.Īs you can see this would be engaging for your students, especially if they are already familiar with the vowels being the ‘stars’ of the alphabet. Since my students are so familiar with our reference to vowels being stars these work perfectly. When teaching this lesson on open or closed syllables I use star coffee stirrers that I purchased from amazon: If you are interested in my Stars of the Alphabet pack you can grab it here. I use that foundation to reinforce looking for the ‘stars’ in words for syllabication. This is a great foundation for them to remember the vowel stars. I start by teaching my students that the vowels are the stars of the alphabet. The foundations of how you teach vowels to me is important. Here are some examples of how easy these are to make to support your students on this: I like to also fold over sentence strips to work on open and closed vowels: I grabbed this cute fairy door from Amazon and it’s the perfect size and has just the right amount of novelty to make this lesson extra fun! Here is a visual I like to use with my students: Here are some examples: hi, be, we, me, so, go, she, ho I have my students find the vowel first in words and then decide if it’s closed in if so they put a fist under it and say it’s short sound.Īn open syllable ends with a vowel and it says it’s long sound. The vowel usually says it’s short sound in these words, and more than one consonant can be used to close in a syllable. The vowel is ‘closed in’ □ by a consonant. CVC words are great examples of this: pot, map, hut, up etc. Closed SyllablesĪ closed syllable is a vowel followed by a consonant. ĬVC words are a great place to start for closed syllables as they are not difficult to blend and can easily be tapped out. Definition of a SyllableĪ unit of pronunciation having one vowel sound, with or without surrounding consonants, forming the whole or a part of a word e.g., there are two syllables in water and three in inferno. Like everything else there are exceptions ~ vowel teams, dipthongs, silent e etc. We can usually determine how many syllables there are based on the vowels. First I teach students that every syllable has a vowel sound. Shop links are provided below.Teaching syllable types has been proven to be very beneficial to your young readers…I like to start with open and closed syllables because I feel they are easiest to master.
