Open and Closed Syllables:
Let’s explore the concepts of open syllables and closed syllables with examples for each:
Open Syllable:
An open syllable is a syllable that ends with a vowel sound, resulting in a long vowel sound (often marked with a single vowel letter). Here are 10 examples of words with open syllables:
1. ba-by (ba / by)
2. me (me)
3. ti-ger (ti / ger)
4. ro-bo (ro / bo)
5. o-pen (o / pen)
6. he (he)
7. pa-per (pa / per)
8. go (go)
9. mu-sic (mu / sic)
10. re-sult (re / sult)
In each of these examples, the syllables end with a vowel sound (a, e, I, o, u) and typically result in the vowel being pronounced as its long sound.
Closed Syllable:
A closed syllable is a syllable that ends with a consonant sound, resulting in a short vowel sound (often marked with a single vowel letter followed by one or more consonant letters). Here are 10 examples of words with closed syllables:
1. cat (cat)
2. sit (sit)
3. run (run)
4. dog (dog)
5. jump (jump)
6. big (big)
7. back (back)
8. bed (bed)
9. ship (ship)
10. black (black)
In these examples, the syllables end with a consonant sound (t, n, g, p, d, k) which makes the preceding vowel typically a short sound.
Summary:
- Open Syllable:
Ends with a vowel sound, resulting in a long vowel sound.
- Closed Syllable:
Ends with a consonant sound, resulting in a short vowel sound.
