6 types of syllables

1. 6 types of syllables • The major types syllables are 1) closed, 2) open, 3) vowel-consonant-e, 4) vowel digraph, 5consonant- le, and 6) r-controlled (Moats, 2000).

2. Closed Syllables • the single vowel has consonant after it, making the vowel sound short (e.g., map, sit, cub, stop, bed)

3. Open Syllables • contains a vowel at the end of the syllable, and the vowel usually says its long sound (e.g., go, me, Hi, ho/bo)

4. Vowel Consonant Silent e (Vce) • The final e in a vowel-consonant-e (VCE) syllable makes the vowel long or "say its own name" (e.g., made, time, cute, vote, Pete).

5. Vowel Team/Digraphs (VT) • A vowel digraph (or vowel team or vowel pair) syllable contains two adjacent vowels (as in rain, green, coil, and pause).

6. Consonant-le (Cle) • A consonant-le syllable usually starts with a consonant that is part of that syllable. For example, bugle has a long u because glestays together, making the first syllable in the word an open syllable, bu. In contrast, tumble contains tum and ble, with tum being a closed syllable. Little requires two ts to keep the iin lit short.

7. R-Controlled syllables (RC) • Vowel sounds in r-controlled syllables often lose their identity as long or short and are co-articulated with /r/ (as in star, corn, fern, church, and firm).
