VCCV syllable pattern


A syllable is a word part that has one sound
He wrote visas from morning to night
VCCV



Many words with this pattern divide between the
consonants
The first syllable is closed, so the word begins with a
short vowel sound:
MOR-nihng.
When 2 or more consonants blend – stand for a single
sound. Don’t divide between blends.

VCV syllable pattern


VCV


To decode a word with this pattern, you should
first try dividing it after the consonant and
pronouncing the syllable with a short vowel
sound: REHF-yoo-jee.
If that doesn’t sound like a familiar word, you
should divide the word after the vowel and use a
long vowel sound.
A young Jewish boy stared in the

VCCV

This word has the VCCV pattern. I know
most words with this pattern divide
between the two consonants. I can divide
this word between the letters n and d.
That makes the first syllable closed, so the
vowel has a short sound: WIHN-doh. That
sounds right, and it makes sense.
