Description
Understanding the difference between open and closed syllables is one of the first big steps students take on the journey to becoming a fluent reader. However, syllable rules can be a challenge (and not very fun) unless you have the right kind of practice.
What are open and closed syllables?
Open and closed syllables are two syllables types that are taught early in school. Mastery of these syllables types can lead to improved decoding and encoding skills.
Closed syllables – End in a short vowel and at least one consonant
Open Syllables – End in a single long vowel
