  1. Open Syllable Patterns

  2. Major • Read the word above. • How many syllables are in this word? • Where should the word be divided? • Ma/jor • The syllable breaks before the second consonant. • Read aloud the first syllable in major /ma/ • When a syllable breaks before a consonant, the syllable is usually pronounced with a long vowel sound. This is called an open syllable pattern. • It is called an open syllable because your mouth is open- there is not a consonant stopping the sound.

  3. MotorMo/tor • The syllable break is after the first vowel. • The first syllable is open and has a long vowel sound • Noticing where a word is broken into syllables will help you read the word. • If you are not sure how to pronounce a syllable, try pronouncing it with both a long and short vowel and listen for what sounds right.
