Assignment 1 (40 points) Prompt: Using the lecture and the discussion question 2 video as guidance, syllabicate the following words based on the syllable division rules. You must show all work. Include all the steps to determine how to divide the word and identify which syllable rule applies to each syllable. In addition, identify each syllable division rule (VCCV, VCV, VCCCV, etc.). Words to syllabicate: census, ginger, scrutinize, optimistic, concentrate, northeast, centrum, forgave Requirements: Since you will be writing out and showing your work, you must upload a screenshot of your work to Canvas.

Unit 3

Syllabication and Syllable Division

1

◼ Oral Language and Listening

◼ Syllable Division Rules

◼ Syllabication

2

Unit Topics

◼ Identify the different syllable types typical to the

English language.

◼ Syllabicate words for the purposed of

multisyllabic decoding.

3

Unit Objectives

◼ Skilled readers are able to read long, unfamiliar

words with ease because they can perceive

where the word should divide to be able to

decode quickly.

◼ To perceive where words should divide,

students need to be familiar with reliable syllable

division patterns.

4

Syllable Division Patterns

Syllable Division Patterns

◼ Major syllable division patterns are:

◼ VC/CV

◼ V/CV

◼ VC/V

◼ V/V

5

Syllable Division: VCCV

◼ In this pattern, there are two consonants

between two vowels. This pattern appears in

words such as:

▪ Tablet

▪ T A(V) B(C) L(C) E(V) T

▪ Sunset

▪ S U(V) N(C) S (C) E(V) T

▪ Combine

6

VC/CV

◼ When two consonants come between two

vowels, the word usually divides between the

two consonants. The accent falls on the first

syllable.

◼ nap´kin

◼ mas´cot

◼ in´sect

7

V/CV

◼ Division happens after the vowel.This pattern

appears in words such as:

◼ Final -- Fi/nal

◼ FI(V)/N(C)A(V) L

◼ Robot – Ro/bot

◼ RO(V) B(C)O(V)T

8

VC/V

◼ Division happens after the consonant.

◼ Camel– Cam/el

◼ CA(V) M(C)/E(V)L

◼ COMET – Com/et

◼ CO(V)M(C)/E(V)T

9

V/V

◼ *complex, and usually introduced after third

grade.

◼ NEON – NE(V)/O(V)N

◼ REACT – RE(V)/A(V)CT

10

VCCCV

◼ When three consonants come between two

vowels, the word usually divides after the first

consonant.

◼ Mon/ster

◼ Hun/dred

◼ Ham/ster

11

Three or More Syllables?

◼ With longer words with three or more

syllables, just connect the vowel bridge.

◼ Seventeen

◼ Sev/en/teen

◼ Se(v)v(c)/e(v)n(c)/t(c)ee(v)n

12

◼ Syllabicate the following words and then

determine the syllable types.

◼ 1. Abstain

◼ 2. Cabin

◼ 3. fragrant
