Second Grade Reading and English Language Arts By: Amy Compton
Basic Elements of Phonetic Analysis • Syllabication • Diphthongs • Digraphs • Variant vowel sounds such as r-controlled
Syllabication is the process of analyzing the patterns of vowels and consonants in a word to determine where the word breaks into syllables
A syllable is a unit of pronunciation containing a single vowel sound with or without more closely combined consonant sounds
Chry∙san∙the∙mum by Kevin Henkes
A diphthong is a complex speech sound or glide that begins with one vowel and gradually changes to another vowel within the same syllable

“She loved the way it sounded when her mother woke her up. She loved the way it sounded when her father called her for dinner. And she loved the way it sounded when she whispered it to herself in the bathroom mirror.”
A vowel digraph is two vowel letters in a word that represent only one sound A consonant digraph is two consonant letters in a word that represent only one sound

“Chrysanthemum thought her name was absolutely perfect. And then she started school. On the first day, Chrysanthemum wore her sunniest dress and her brightest smile. She ran all the way. “Hooray!” said Chrysanthemum. “School!””
“But when Mrs. Chud took roll call, everyone giggled upon hearing Chrysanthemum’s name.”
When a vowel letter is followed by an r, the vowel and the r represent one murmuring vowel sound; therefore, the vowelsound is r-controlled
