​Raise your hand if you can read this word.

Multiple Choice

not

what syllable type is this?

• open

• closed

"Not" is a single-syllable word.

• The syllable structure is consonant-vowel-consonant (CVC).

• The "n" sound at the beginning of the word is a consonant.

• The "o" sound in the middle is a vowel.

• The "t" sound at the end is a consonant.

So, "not" is considered a closed syllable because it ends with a consonant sound, which is "t".

Multiple Choice

NOT

Is the vowel sound long or short?

• long

• short

​In "not," the vowel "o" is followed by the consonant "t." This placement typically signals a short vowel sound. When a vowel is followed by a consonant in a closed syllable (ending in a consonant), it tends to be short. So, the "o" in "not" makes a short vowel sound, as in "hot" or "top."

Multiple Choice

If you take away the t to make the word NO is they syllable still closed?

• yes

• no

​It's open. The vowel can say its name because there is nothing closing it in. It's called an open syllable. An open syllable has only one vowel and ends with the vowel. The vowel sound is long.

​When dividing the word "program" into syllables, we notice that the "gr" blend stays together in the second syllable:

pro - gram

"pro" forms an open syllable, leaving "gram" as the second syllable. Despite the "gr" blend, it stays together in the second syllable.

This observation is important because it shows that sometimes blends will stay together in the second syllable even if the first syllable is open. So, be mindful of this when dividing words into syllables.
