SYLLABLE Nurulloyeva Gulruh 302-T group What is a Syllable? - What is a Syllable?
- A syllable is one unit of sound in English. Syllables join consonants and vowels to form words.
- Syllables can have more than one letter; however, a syllable cannot have more than one sound.
- Syllables can have more than one consonant and more than one vowel, as well. However, the consonant(s) and vowel(s) that create the syllable cannot make more than one sound.
- How To Count Syllables
- To count syllables, you may have done that thing where you put your hand under your chin to count how many times your mouth opens when you say a word. This works because your mouth must open wide when making vowel sounds. But I find it’s more accurate to hum the word and count the hums.
- For example, with the word purple, you would hum hum-hum and that clearly sounds like 2 parts of a word. Using the hand under the chin method with the word purple might produce an inaccurate result because our mouths don’t open very wide for the vowel sound in -ple.
- Why are syllables important?
- So now that we know what a syllable is and how to count them, you may be wondering why anyone would need to know this
Syllable rules are very important to know for spelling and decoding, and critical to teach to students who struggle in either reading or spelling.
Knowing the different syllable patterns and how to split words into syllables helps students decode and spell words correctly. They can predict what sound a vowel will make and break up longer words into smaller parts for easier reading.
THANKS FOR YOUR ATTENTION!!!
