Syllable Types and Decoding Strategies

Mrs. Mano explains the process of decoding words using seven syllable types: closed, open, magic e, vowel team, bossy R, diphthongs, and consonant L E. She demonstrates how to identify and divide syllables in words, using examples to illustrate each type. The video also covers syllable division patterns and provides practice opportunities for students.

What is the first step in decoding a word according to Mrs. Mano?

• Identify the consonants

• Underline the vowel sounds

• Look for prefixes

• Find the suffixes

Which syllable type is characterized by a vowel followed by a consonant?

• Vowel team syllable

• Closed syllable

• Magic 'e' syllable

• Open syllable

In a closed syllable, what happens to the vowel sound?

• It is omitted

• It becomes short

• It remains silent

• It becomes long

What decision must be made when decoding an open syllable?

• Which vowel to underline

• How many consonants to include

• Whether to add a prefix

• Where to place the syllable cut

What is the characteristic of an open syllable?

• The syllable ends with 'le'

• The vowel is at the end and shouts its name

• The vowel is silent

• The vowel is followed by a consonant

When decoding a three-syllable word, what is the initial focus?

• Underline the first two vowel sounds

• Identify the suffix

• Underline all vowels at once

• Find the prefix

What is a magic 'e' syllable?

• A syllable where the 'e' is silent but makes the vowel long

• A syllable with two vowels together

• A syllable ending with 'le'

• A syllable with a bossy 'r'

What is a bossy 'r' syllable?

• A syllable with a silent 'e'

• A syllable where 'r' follows a vowel and changes its sound

• A syllable ending with 'le'

• A syllable with two vowels together

What is a vowel team?

• Two vowels working together to make one sound

• A vowel followed by 'r'

• A vowel followed by a consonant

• A vowel at the end of a syllable

What is a diphthong?

• A single vowel sound

• Two vowels making a sliding sound

• A vowel followed by 'r'

• A silent 'e' at the end
