1. Study the theory box

Dividing words into syllables

  1. Separate prefixes and suffixes from root words.
    • examples:  pre-view, work-ingre-do, end-less, & out-ing
  2. Are two (or more) consonants next to each other?
    • Divide between the 1st and 2nd consonants.
      • examples:  buf-fet, des-sert, ob-ject, ber-ry, & pil-grim
    • Never split 2 consonants that make only 1 sound when pronounced together and aren't the same letter (i.e., 'ff').
      • examples:  thshphthch, & w
    • Is the consonant surrounded by vowels?
      • Does the vowel have a long sound?  (Like the 'i' in line)
        • Divide before the consonant.
        • examples:  ba-by, re-sult, i-vy, fro-zen, & Cu-pid
      • Does the vowel have a short sound?  (Like the 'i' in mill)
        • Divide after the consonant.
        • examples:  met-al, riv-er, mod-el, val-ue, & rav-age
      • Does the word end with 'ckle'?
        • Divide right before the 'le.'
        • examples:  tack-le, freck-le, tick-le, & buck-le
      • Does the word end with 'le' (not 'ckle')?
        • Is the letter before the 'le' a consonant?
          • Divide 1 letter before the 'le.'
          • examples:  ap-ple, rum-ble, fa-ble, & ta-ble
        • Is the letter before the 'le' a vowel?
          • Do nothing.
          • examples:  ale, scale, sale, file, & tile
