Unit 3

Syllabication and Syllable Division

1

◼ Oral Language and Listening

◼ Syllable Division Rules

◼ Syllabication

2

Unit Topics

◼ Identify the different syllable types typical to the

English language.

◼ Syllabicate words for the purposed of

multisyllabic decoding.

3

Unit Objectives

◼ Skilled readers are able to read long, unfamiliar

words with ease because they can perceive

where the word should divide to be able to

decode quickly.

◼ To perceive where words should divide,

students need to be familiar with reliable syllable

division patterns.

4

Syllable Division Patterns

Syllable Division Patterns

◼ Major syllable division patterns are:

◼ VC/CV

◼ V/CV

◼ VC/V

◼ V/V

5

Syllable Division: VCCV

◼ In this pattern, there are two consonants

between two vowels. This pattern appears in

words such as:

▪ Tablet

▪ T A(V) B(C) L(C) E(V) T

▪ Sunset

▪ S U(V) N(C) S (C) E(V) T

▪ Combine

6

VC/CV

◼ When two consonants come between two

vowels, the word usually divides between the

two consonants. The accent falls on the first

syllable.

◼ nap´kin

◼ mas´cot

◼ in´sect

7

V/CV

◼ Division happens after the vowel.This pattern

appears in words such as:

◼ Final — Fi/nal

◼ FI(V)/N(C)A(V) L

◼ Robot – Ro/bot

◼ RO(V) B(C)O(V)T

8

VC/V

◼ Division happens after the consonant.

◼ Camel– Cam/el

◼ CA(V) M(C)/E(V)L

◼ COMET – Com/et

◼ CO(V)M(C)/E(V)T

9

V/V

◼ *complex, and usually introduced after third

grade.

◼ NEON – NE(V)/O(V)N

◼ REACT – RE(V)/A(V)CT

10

VCCCV

◼ When three consonants come between two

vowels, the word usually divides after the first

consonant.

◼ Mon/ster

◼ Hun/dred

◼ Ham/ster

11

Three or More Syllables?

◼ With longer words with three or more

syllables, just connect the vowel bridge.

◼ Seventeen

◼ Sev/en/teen

◼ Se(v)v(c)/e(v)n(c)/t(c)ee(v)n

12

◼ Syllabicate the following words and then

determine the syllable types.

◼ 1. Abstain

◼ 2. Cabin

◼ 3. fragrant
