January Word Study 2016

Unit 7
Students will be learning the open syllable. The students will learn how to mark it up. The open syllable has only one vowel and it does not have a consonant after it. Here are some examples:

go                    flu                   we                   I

This is how you mark up an open syllable: 
Open syllables can be combined with other syllables to make longer words:

Students will also be introduced to y as a vowel.
Y has 2 vowel sounds in an open syllable.
In a one-syllable word, y makes the long i sound such as: cry
In multi-syllable words, y makes the long e sound such as: baby 
Also, y can also be a suffix by coming at the end of a word. When y is a suffix, it has the sound of long e.
For example: safely, safety, lumpy
