Teaching Open and Closed Syllables Effectively

The video tutorial demonstrates an engaging method to teach open and closed syllables using a paper strip. By folding the paper to create a 'door,' students can visualize how syllables change when the 'door' is open or closed. The tutorial explains that when the door is closed, the syllable is closed, and the vowel makes a short sound. When the door is open, the syllable is open, and the vowel can say its name. This hands-on activity helps students understand the concept of syllables in a fun and interactive way.
