digraphs Consonants ‘stick together’ to form one

sound, even though there are two letters.

That is why they are on one card. They

are not separated.

Q is the chicken letter- it refuses to go anywhere without its

friend, u. It is never in a word alone. The u in this situation

has no vowel sound.

Review and Teach Concepts

for Reading

Important to know

Sounds are built into

syllables and syllables

are combined to form

words. You must see

and hear words in parts.

Syllables • Review: There are six types of syllables

• One type is called a Closed syllable

• All the words we have worked with so

far have been Closed syllables

Closed Syllable • Has one vowel

• The vowel is short

• It is “Closed in” on the right side

by one or more consonants

c a t In cat, the vowel a is closed in by

the consonant t.

Closed Syllable • There does not need to be a

consonant before the vowel

c a t In at, the vowel a is closed in

by the consonant t.

Closed Syllable Does this word have a closed syllable?

Yes

• It has one vowel, u.

• The vowel is short.

• The vowel is closed in by the digraph ch

(two consonants).

s u ch

sh e

Closed Syllable Does this word have a closed syllable?

• It has one vowel, i.

• The vowel is short.

• The vowel is closed in on the right side by

the consonant t. There is no need for any

letter before the vowel.

t i

Closed Syllable Does this word have a closed syllable?

No

• It has two vowels, o and a.

f a l o

The word cat is made

up of three sounds.

c t a

cat

The sounds go together to make

up one part, or one syllable.

To read or spell longer

words, you just have to do

one part at a time. You can

already read the parts

separately, so it will be easy

to read and spell longer

words-one part at a time.

nip cat

The word catnip has two parts.

You can hear it. Each part is one push of

breath. When another push of breath is

needed, it is a new part.
