Hey there! Let’s learn how to break words into smaller parts called syllables. This makes reading easier and more fun! First, find the vowels in a word and underline them. Vowels are the letters A, E, I, O, U, and sometimes Y. After you underline the vowels, find the middle point between them and split the word. For example, in the word “jump,” you can split it into smaller parts. Great job! Now you can read words in chunks.
Let’s talk about open and closed syllables. In an open syllable, the vowel says its name, like in the words “oh” and “no.” In a closed syllable, the vowel makes a short sound, like in “not” and “man.” Remember, open syllables have vowels that say their name, and closed syllables have short vowel sounds.
Do you remember how to split words into syllables? Let’s try it again! Underline the vowels in the word “lesson” and find the middle point to split it. Awesome! You’re doing great!
Now, let’s learn about words with a vowel and “r” together. These make one sound and should not be split apart. For example, in the word “target,” the “a” and “r” stay together. Well done!
Today, we’ll learn about vowel teams. A vowel team is when two vowels come together to make one sound. Don’t split them! In the word “contain,” the vowels work as a team. Fantastic job!
Let’s practice splitting open syllables. Underline the vowels and divide the word between them. Most of the time, you split on the side of the first vowel. If the word doesn’t sound right, try splitting it on the other side. Keep practicing!
Now, let’s learn about words that end with a magic “e.” This “e” is silent, so don’t underline it. Split the word into syllables without the “e.” For example, in “escape,” the “e” is silent. Great work!
Here’s a fun trick! When a word ends in “le,” count back three letters and split the word. This helps you read words like “lifting.” Remember, count back three and split the word. Keep practicing, and you’ll be a syllable pro!
Syllable Scavenger Hunt: Go on a syllable scavenger hunt around your home or classroom! Find five objects and write down their names. Then, underline the vowels in each word and try to split them into syllables. For example, if you find a “pencil,” underline the vowels “e” and “i” and split it into pen-cil. Share your findings with a friend or family member!
Syllable Sound Match: Create a set of cards with different words on them. On one side, write a word with an open syllable, like “go,” and on the other side, a word with a closed syllable, like “cat.” Mix up the cards and play a matching game. Can you find all the open syllable words and pair them with closed syllable words? Discuss the differences in vowel sounds with a partner.
Vowel Team Detective: Become a vowel team detective! Look through a book or a magazine and find words that have vowel teams, like “boat” or “rain.” Write down the words you find and circle the vowel teams. How many can you find? Share your list with the class and see who found the most!

**Syllable Division Training**
**Part One:**
Listen up! The following instructions will prepare you with the skills required to split a word into syllables. Good luck!
To split a word into syllables, first underline the vowels. Notice that the vowels have now been identified and underlined. Find the middle point between the two vowels and split the word “jump.”
Good job! You have now learned how to split a word into syllables. The advantage of doing this is that you have smaller chunks to read.
Now pay attention as we read the word “helmet.” Good job! You passed with flying colors.
**Open and Closed Syllables:**
The vowel says its letter name in an open syllable. In a closed syllable, the vowel makes a short sound.
Which of these words are open syllables and which are closed?
These are open: “oh,” “no.”
These are closed: “not,” “man.”
Remember, when it’s closed, the vowel makes a short sound. When it is open, the vowel says its letter name.
**Part Two:**
Listen up! Do you remember how to split a word into syllables? First, underline the vowels. Find the middle point between the two vowels and split the word “lesson.”
Good job! I’m so proud of you.
**Part Three:**
You will now be trained to recognize and split words that contain a vowel and “r” together. A vowel and “r” make one sound, so they should not be split apart.
Good! Now read the word “target.”
Great job! You have completed this training.
**Part Four:**
Today, you will be trained to identify a vowel team. A vowel team is where two vowels join together to make one sound and should not be split.
Underline the remaining vowel. Good! It is now time to split the word into syllables.
Now read the word “contain.”
Good job! You are one in a million.
**Part Five:**
Today, you’ll be learning how to split open syllables. This is an important skill that will help with both reading and spelling.
To split a word into syllables, underline the vowels and divide the word between them. Most words split on the side of the first vowel.
Here’s another word to split. Underline the vowels and split the word.
Now pay attention as I read the word again.
That’s better! If the word does not sound right, you’ll need to try splitting the word on the other side.
**Part Six:**
Today, you will be splitting a word that ends in a magic “e.” First, underline the vowels. As you know, a magic “e” is silent, so you do not underline the “e” at the end.
Now split the word into syllables.
Good! Now read the word “escape.”
Good job!
**Final Training:**
You need to learn all about counting back three. “L e” comes at the end of the word. It is a word tail but does not sound the way you would expect.
“L e” stands for “lifting.”
To read a word that ends in “l e,” count back three and split the word.
To help you, I have composed a special song: “Count back three and split the word.”
Notice that this vowel is closed, making a short sound.
Once again, count back three.
