very helpful video! My 5y old son had no idea how to read 2 months ago. I started to teach him phonics and at the same time, I read Razkids C level articles with him. Now he has no problem to read Razkid level F and know how to pronounce the words he didn’t know.
Great instructional video - works for independent / adult ESL learners too. I teach this in my adult classes and it's proven to tremendously advance not only their reading but also their speaking.
Hello ! Warm Greetings from Moscow! You know this way to teach kids how to read ...really look like reading in Russia!!! We usually teach our kids to read like this)))) it is a discovery!!!
does this help to identify the long vowel or short vowel in the first syllable ? nope then why this syllable concept i don't understand.my point here is how do I know if it is a long vowel or short vowel in the word CABIN.what ist the point in knowing the pronunciation of a word and dividing it into syllables ?.if syllable helps in pronouncing the words accurately then its worth studying else its just a waste of time .
Hi! This pattern is tricky because a word can either be divided before or after the single consonant in the middle of the vowels. You can teach students to "try it both ways" and see which one makes a word. In my dialect of English, comet has a short o sound, therefore it makes the most sense to create a closed syllable (and therefore a short vowel) and divide it like com/et. If we divided it like this: co/met, it would be pronounced with a long o sound. Hope that helps!
The word comet is divided like this: com et because the syllable needs to be closed to say the short sound. If it’s divided co met then the o would make the long o sound and the word would be mispronounced
Tks Madam for these however, I was waiting how to pronounce the second syllable of the softball i.e ball as all are short vowels but it did not happen so pls help.
Thank you SO MUCH!! I just got a job as a instructional assistant and Im teaching phonics to small groups of grades 1 to 4. I have to use workbooks but i didnt fully understand phoncs. This video helped me so much! I just had a question... So, I wanted to understand the difference between the second and third rule. Is the difference between them that, in the 2nd rule ( v/cv ) the vowels are long and the 3rd rule ( vc/v ) the vowels are short? Is that what ultimately decides between which rule you us (or where you divide them)? Sorry, hope my question makes sense. Thanks so much again!!❤
Congratulations on your new position!! I know those two are tricky! You want to try to divide the word with v/cv first and if it's not a real word, then use the vc/v! I usually teach the v/cv rule first and then teach the vc/v rule shortly so they can be used flexibly!
@learningattheprimarypond thank you so much! Is it correct that the difference between the two rules is, for v/cv the vowel is long and for cv/v the vowel is short? Thank you again!
The worksheets in the video come from my phonics program, From Sounds to Spelling - www.fromsoundstospelling.com/ I also have a product that's focused on just syllable types and division!

Hello, I have got a question: We divide the word process right after the consonant which is between two vowels though the first vowel is long, could you tell me why????🤔
@@learningattheprimarypond but actually it is a diphthong, why then it makes a short vowel sound? It is like the word procedure where we break the rule, but again why?? I hope you could answer that, waiting your response. Thanks.
The examples 'bathtub' and 'softball' are different because they are compound words. The syllable boundary is between the two words that have been compounded. This removes the need to incorrectly treat 'ft' as a digraph. This is separate to the VC/CV split which is as per some of your other examples in the comments is related to double consonants or consonant clusters, e.g. married, supper, dimple.
Hey! Just wanted to clarify something - "ft" is actually a blend (so each sound maintains a different sound /f/ and /t/ producing two different consonants and sounds.) In the other example, "th" is a digraph so the "t" and "h" come together to make one sound /th/.
@@learningattheprimarypond Hi. Yes, you do make that clear in your video :) You do say that you're going to treat the 'ft' as one consonant sound though, so my info was meant as a way of helping to show how this can be avoided if compound words are considered in relation to syllables. Great video that makes it clear how the vowel plays a key role in syllables!
Hi! I don't have a video but I'll add that to my ideas list! Often, the rule about stressing is that stress is put on the first syllable for nouns and second syllable for verbs. There are, of course, always exceptions though!
Please I want to ask a question There are a lot of videos teach kids to read in that pattern Pa. Pe. Pi. Po. Pu And pronounce the vowel as short sound. Isn't that wrong?? I think it will be opened syllable that way and will be pronounced as long sound not short as they do. Am I right??
Hi there! Good question. Technically, the stressed syllable is on the first part - "cit" - and so it's divided "cit-y." But remember sometimes the way it's divided up writing vs how we say it/stress it can differ!
@@learningattheprimarypond Do you mean the native speaker doesn't link/blend the /t/ with /sɪ/ in first syllable when speaking, they speak /sɪ/ + /ti/ instead /sɪt/ + /i/?
Well done! Like it very much. I hope in the future hyphens will get replaced with vertical bars to do syllabifications because they (hyphens) lead to confusions some times. Example: Chinese and korean given names mostly consists of two syllables. Some romanizations show the syllables, others dont. I ll give you an example from Korea: 1) Gildong 2) Gil-dong Its a given name. The problem is hyphens are also used to connect two seperate names with each other, like Jean-Claude or the german names Hans-Peter. The only difference is the first letter of the second syllable isnt capitalized, Gil-dong, not Gil-Dong. But since today so many ppl are spelling without usuing capital letters anymore, it looks like gil-dong and hans-peter, you cant see gildong is one name but hans and peter are two names. A vertiacal bar is better. Gil|dong and Hans-Peter gil|dong and hans-peter There is no confustion anymore.
There is only one syllabification rule in English: Syllables are to be divided in such a way that the written syllables match the spoken ones in a one-to-one correspondence. For example, using the International Phonetic Alphabet, belly has the transcription /'be.li/ as the spoken syllables are ['be] and ['li].
Those are all 1 syllable words, so this particular video isn't necessarily addressing that however, if they are part of a multisyllabic word, the blends are viewed as two separate consonants because they each still make their own sound!
Hey there! I have tons of resources/blogs here that you may want to check out - learningattheprimarypond.com/parents/ Is he in school? What does his teacher say?
Hey there! I think it could be coun-ter because you have the vc/cv combo. Something that I emphasize with my students is that we just do the best we can in dividing up a word and pronouncing it, but we know that sometimes the rules don’t all apply perfectly. Hope this helps!
@@learningattheprimarypond thank you so much. IT just confuses me so much .I can`t figure out which rule it follows. The same issue with festival divided into fes-ti-val (not fes-tiv-al like camel into cam-al)
@@learningattheprimarypond but then it sounds robotic. As I say, the syllable method doesn't always apply. It only teaches the letters, not the pronouncing.
@@learningattheprimarypond about the word 'original', we divide to [əˈrɪdʒ.ə.nəl ] or [əˈrɪ.dʒə.nəl ]? Is there any different sound for these two phonetics when speaking? Thanks!

I divided the word for him every time when he saw a new word. This video helps a lot when I teach him syllables. Thank you🎉

Great instructional video - works for independent / adult ESL learners too. I teach this in my adult classes and it's proven to tremendously advance not only their reading but also their speaking.
So cool that adults can use the exact same process - I agree!
I needed this basic knowledge to teach syllable patterns. Thank You Allison.

Hello ! Warm Greetings from Moscow! You know this way to teach kids how to read ...really look like reading in Russia!!! We usually teach our kids to read like this)))) it is a discovery!!!
You made my day! Thank you.
Thanks it also helps foreigners who's learning English
Glad to hear!
v|cv and vc|v, how to know which one is use for a word, we must look up dictionary or is there any tip to know this rule?
You can try it either way to see which one sounds right!
Could you explain how to divide “stubborn”, “possum”, “married”?
stub-born, pos-sum, mar-ried
These would all fall under the VC/CV category :)
I think it should be ma rried. We don't say mar ried. The rules don't always work.
I really appreciate your help but we need more videos about syllables, with more examples.
Is there a book or a website we can learn more from?
I have a bunch of blogs about syllables you can check out! learningattheprimarypond.com/?s=syllable
Thank you. Your videos are very helpful. I love your phonic program.
Thank you for all of your short and specific subject videos.🙌🏼🎉💕

Knowing syllable types and rules can help you identify if it's a short or long vowel sound.
Did you learn about syllables by simply clapping?
No please give some idea

Hey there! You divide before the consonant if the first vowel has a long sound and divide after the consonant if the first vowel has a short sound.

It's probably best to teach them as isolated without the "p" in front, correct.
