After attending this four hour workshop, participants will have learned: 1. 85% of the English Language is predictable when you know the six syllable patterns:
· Closed syllable (CVC) short vowel sounds (hat, them)
· Open syllable (CV) long vowel sounds (no, ha/lo)
· Silent e syllable (VCe) long vowel sounds, e is silent (ride, snake)
· Vowel team syllable (VV) two vowels together make one new sound (boat, oil)
· R-controlled syllable (Vr) bossy r takes over the true vowel sound (bird, corn)
· Cle syllable (Cle) final syllable of a word with no true vowel sound (can/dle, bu/gle)
