Have students sound out each syllable and blend the syllables to read the word. moment Look at this word. Which letters are vowels? o, e moment v v Which consonant letter falls between the vowels? m moment v c v When you see a vowel-consonant-vowel pattern, divide the word into syllables before the consonant. mo/ment v/ c v Let s blend the syllables to read the word: /m/ /ō/ / m / /ĕ/ /n/ / t /, moment.

Which letters are vowels? u, i, e surprise v v v Which letters are consonants that fall between the vowels? r, p, r surprise vcccv 4 Point out the VCCCV pattern. Explain that a VCCCV word always has two blended consonants and is divided into syllables either before or after the blended consonants. Ask students what the blended consonants are, and draw a slash between the syllables. Words with a vowel-consonant-consonantconsonant-vowel pattern always have two blended consonants. Divide the word into syllables either before or after these two consonants in the same syllable. sur/prise vc/ccv What are the two blended consonants in this word? The p and r are blended consonants. 5 Have students sound out each syllable and blend the syllables to read the word. Have students adjust the pronunciation of the syllables as necessary to get a real word. Let s blend the syllables to read the word: /s/ /ә r/ /pr/ / ī/ /z/, surprise.
