Exploring Open & Closed Multisyllabic Words

This video tutorial explores open and closed multi-syllabic words. It begins with a review of open and closed one-syllable words, explaining that open syllables have a vowel sound that is not closed by a consonant, allowing the vowel to 'say its name.' Examples include words like 'apron' and 'music.' The video then transitions to closed syllables, where a consonant follows the vowel, shortening the vowel sound, as seen in words like 'apple' and 'monkey.' The tutorial also discusses words that contain both open and closed syllables, such as 'item' and 'donut.' The video concludes with a preview of the next topic: silent E syllables.

What does an open syllable mean?

• A syllable with a consonant at the end

• A syllable with a vowel sound that is open

• A syllable with a silent letter
