Patterns for Success Reading and Spelling
Layers of English Language Greek Specialized words used mostly in science.Combining forms are compounded. Examples: atmosphere, photograph Latin Technical, sophisticated words used primarily in more formal contexts, such as in literature and textbooks. Affixes are added to roots. Examples: advocate, expedite, instructor Anglo-Saxon Short, common, everyday, down-to-earth words used often in ordinary situations and found in school primers. Many Anglo-Saxon words have nonphonetic spellings. Many Anglo-Saxon words are often made up of two smaller words: these are called compound words. Example: doghouse, hockey,
Lessons to be included: • Common Affixes(Prefixes and Suffixes) • Anglo-Saxon Layer • Letter Sound Correspondence
The Six Types of Syllables • Closed Syllable; VC • Has only one vowel and ends in a consonant. The Vowel is usually short: ad, sug, lish, trom, ject • Silent-e (Vce) • A silent-e syllable has one vowel followed by a consonant followed by an e. The e is silent and makes the preceeding vowel long. • Open (CV) • The open syllable ends in a vowel. The vowel is usually long- pi, glo, stri, u • R-Controlled (Vr) • An r-controlled syllable has a vowel followed by an r,, which modivies the vowel sound: car, mer, fir, cor, tur. • Consonant-le (Cle) • A consonant-le syllable is a final syllable in which the e is silent: thus it sounds like a consonant- ∂l: ta-ble, jun-gle, sim-ple • Double-Vowel • A double-vowel syllable has two vowels that together make one sound- boat, fie, haul, voy, floun.
The Five Syllabification Rules • VC/CV • When two or more consonants stand between two vowels divide between the consonants, keeping blends or digraphs together: pup-pet, hun-dred, sup-pose, fan-tas-tic • V/CV • When a single consonant is surrounded by two vowels, the most common division is before the consonant, making the vowel in the first syllable long: hu-man, lo-cate, pi-lot • VC/V • If the V/CV syllabification rule doesn’t make a recognizable word, divide after the consonant and give the vowel its short sound: rap-id, sol-id • /Cle • Divide before the consonant-le. Count back three letters from the end of the word and divide: ea-gle, am-ble • V/V • Only a few words divide between the vowels: di-et, flu-id, qui-et
