So today we are going to play a bit of a game
and we are going to review our syllable types.
So the three that we are going to work on are "closed," this stands for "closed."
This stands for "open." This stands for "silent E."
Okay, if you look at this little card, you notice how the door is closed.
When the door is closed what does that say?
>>STUDENT: Dis.. AH.
>>INSTRUCTOR: But if I open the door up and the vowel is on the end what does it say?
>>STUDENT: O so that's NO.
>>INSTRUCTOR: And if I put a silent E here at the end what does it say?
>>STUDENT: It's Not... Note.
>>INSTRUCTOR: Excellent if you put this E out here it's going to give all the power
back to this letter and it's going to say it's name so "note."
So let's see if you can decide, and we'll just play this for a short time.
You draw a card and you tell me what the card says,
and you tell me if it's "closed," "open," or "silent E."
>>STUDENT: This is a closed syllable.
>>INSTRUCTOR: Good, so you put yours there. Mine is "which" and I have a closed syllable.
Your turn. The first one of us to get one in each space wins.
>>STUDENT: Shine, that's an open syllable?
>>INSTRUCTOR: Show me the pattern here. If yours looks like this? Or like that?
Or like that? Please show me on here what you think.
>>STUDENT: It looks like this.
>>INSTRUCTOR: Oh so what kind of syllable is that?
How many vowels are in a closed syllable?
>>STUDENT: 3? I mean 4.
>>INSTRUCTOR: Well the vowels are just A E I O and U.
Okay, so this only has one vowel right?
And mine only has one vowel so in a closed syllable you only have one vowel.
Do you have both an I and an E? Then it can't be closed.
>>STUDENT: It has to be open.
>>INSTRUCTOR: Well if it's open, an open has only how many vowels?
>>STUDENT: It has to be a silent E.
>>INSTRUCTOR: Excellent, good job. Oh goodness, I have two, I have E inside.
Since you have a silent E I think I'm going to go with a silent E. Your turn.
>>STUDENT: Sat.. Sut..Bent.
>>INSTRUCTOR: Let's take a look at that again, you have this syllable.
Does this syllable - how many vowels are in this syllable?
>>STUDENT: 1.
>>INSTRUCTOR: 1. Okay, now where is that 1 vowel?
>>STUDENT: At the end.
>>INSTRUCTOR: So what kind of syllable is this?
>>STUDENT: An open syllable.
>>INSTRUCTOR: And you win. Very good, nice job.
So tell me what you remember about a closed syllable.
>>STUDENT: It -- it only has - it has a consonant that both consonants are trapping it.
>>INSTRUCTOR: So that it has one consonant closing in the vowel right?
Tell me what you remember about an open syllable.
>>STUDENT: The open syllable doesn't have any - consonant right here.
>>INSTRUCTOR: Excellent and what do you remember about silent E?
>>STUDENT: It makes the A say its name.
>>INSTRUCTOR: It makes that first vowel say its name. Very good, thank you very much.
