Exploring Closed Syllables VC/V

Miss Ryan introduces a phonics lesson focusing on the closed syllable pattern (VCV). She reviews open and closed syllables, explaining that open syllables have vowels making long sounds, while closed syllables have vowels making short sounds. The lesson then covers strategies for reading multi-syllable words by breaking them into chunks, using examples like 'baker', 'cabin', 'topic', 'never', and 'camel'. Students are encouraged to try different ways to sound out words to find the correct pronunciation.
