Syllable Mapper
Break words into their syllable constituents.
Teaching students the different types of syllables will support students in being able to effectively decode and spell multi-syllabic words. There are 6 main syllable types:
- Closed Syllables- syllable ends with a consonant and the vowel sound is usually short
- Open Syllables- syllable ends with a vowel and the vowel sound is usually long
- Vowel + Consonant + E Syllables- syllable ends with a split digraph (a_e, o_e, i_e, u_e, e_e)
- Vowel Team syllables- syllable is spelled with two vowels next to each other
- R-controlled Vowel Syllables- syllable has a vowel followed by an 'r' which affects the vowel sound
- Consonant + le Syllables- syllable has a consonant followed by 'le' at the end of a word
