Breaking Words into Syllables

1 Breaking s into By: Edug8tor

2 General Syllable Rules: Every syllable has one vowel sound The number of vowel sounds in a word equals the number of o Ex: home = 1 sub-ject = 2 pub-lish-ing = 3 A one syllable word is never divided These are the 5 basic rules I teach my students: 1. Compound Rule Compound words are divided between the two smaller words. Ex: snowflake = snow-flake 2. Happy Couple Rule Break up the happy couple or the double consonants in the middle of a word. Ex: rabbit = rab-bit 3. Long Vowel Rule When the vowel in the syllable is a long vowel, the break would be right after that vowel. Ex: tiger = ti-ger 4. Added Endings Rule When a syllable ends in a suffix, separate the ending so that it is its own syllable. Ex: careful = care-ful 5. Short Vowel Rule A syllable that has a short vowel sound followed by a consonant would break after the consonant. Ex: spinach = spin-ach

Break the word suggested into its syllable parts: sug-gest-ed Explain what syllable rules you used to help you. Remember to write in complete sentences! Answer may include: One of the rules used was the happy couple rule where you break between two consonants that are the same. One of the rules was the short vowel rule, which means if there is a short vowel sound, you break after the consonant next to the vowel. One of the rules is the added ending rule, where you break off the suffix to be its own. I clapped it out so I could hear how many are in the word.
