Syllable Division and Patterns

The video tutorial explains how to teach syllable division using the VCV pattern, focusing on the transition from single-syllable to multi-syllable words. It introduces the six syllable types and emphasizes the closed VCV pattern. The tutorial provides step-by-step guidance on teaching this pattern, including identifying vowels and consonants, and practicing in isolation before mixing with open VCV patterns. It also highlights the importance of understanding both patterns and offers resources for further practice.

Why is it important for readers to learn strategies for breaking down longer words?

• To improve their guessing skills

• To memorize longer words

• To help them skip over longer words

• To break words into smaller, manageable chunks

Which of the following is NOT one of the six syllable types?

• Double consonant syllables

• Closed syllables

• Open syllables

• Silent e syllables

What is the first step in teaching the closed VCV pattern?

• Mixing closed and open patterns

• Practicing the closed pattern in isolation

• Understanding the open CVC pattern

• Skipping the open pattern

In the word 'finish', how is the consonant 'n' used in syllable division?

• It is ignored

• It opens the first syllable

• It goes with the second syllable

• It closes the first syllable

What should learners do if the first syllable division attempt does not form a real word?

• Try putting the consonant with the first syllable

• Ask the teacher for the answer

• Skip the word

• Try a different word

What resources are available for further practice on syllable division?

• A podcast series

• Free printables and an interactive pack

• A video game

• A textbook
