Let’s Break it Down ~ Syllable Division Cards

Sometimes learners struggle to go from reading simple one-syllable words to longer words. Once learners know how to read simple, one-syllable closed syllables like kit or ten and open syllable words like no and he, you can move them to longer words that are composed of both open and closed syllables like kitten or hero.

One of the walls readers “hit” with syllable division is when they come to words like robin or habit. These words seem to be divided as ro-bin and ha-bit (V/CV), with an open first syllable with a long vowel sound.

But, of course, this is not how they are pronounced. Instead, these words should be divided as: rob-in and hab-it (VC/V). The first syllable in each word is a closed syllable with a short vowel sound.

How are learners supposed to figure out the difference? Great question! My teaching video, found below, can be a super helpful tool to help you teach this kind of syllable division to your learners!

3. Break the word down into its syllables -> 1st syllable+ 2nd syllable {either as V/VC in tu-lips or VC/V in hab-it}
4. Write the word in a sentence

All digital and printable cards are SELF-CHECKING! In Google Slides and Seesaw, learners can drag a box over to check their answers and read a sample sentence. Just print the answer key for learners to check their work if you’re using the printable cards.
