Open and Closed Syllable PatternsListen to me read these words. After I read them, turn and tell your partner how many syllables you hear in each word

ri/valhab/it

When a syllable breaks before a consonant, as in rival, the syllable is usually pronounced with a long vowel sound. This is called an open syllable pattern.

When a syllable breaks after a consonant, as in habit, the syllable is usually pronounced with a short vowel sound. This is called a closed syllable pattern.

Open and Closed Syllable PatternsREMEMBER: If you are unsure whether a syllable

is open or closed, pronounce it with both a long vowel sound and a

short vowel sound to see which results in a word

you know.
