The syllable type controls the vowel sound. WHY DOES THE DICTIONARY HAVE DIFFERENT SYLLABLE RULES? When students are working on decoding, we use syllabication rules. When you are reading, and you are stuck on a word, follow these syllable types to decode the word! 1. Blends & Consonant Clusters. Consonant clusters or blends, are the names given to two or three consonants that appear together in a word.

Blends & Consonant Clusters

Each consonant retains its sound when blended. The term cluster refers to the written form and the term blend refers to the spoken form. English Spelling Patterns and Spelling Reform with Phonics. English spelling is needlessly difficult, which is why spelling reform is needed.

These are: 1) VOICED or VOICELESSThe distinction is based on whether the vocal chords vibrate when the sound is produced (voiced), or whether they remain still and do not vibrate (voiceless). (See item K. in Figure 1. for the location of the vocal chords within the trachea). Examples of voiced and voiceless consonants include:voiced: b, d, z, g voiceless: p, t, s, k You can “test” the voicing quality by saying these sounds and placing your fingers over your throat to “feel” the vibration of the vocal chords.

Try to do the same thing with “d” versus “t”And again, with “s” versus “z”And, “g” versus “k” Greek Phonology. In this chapter, I will attempt to describe the Greek phonemes without introducing the Greek letters (except for a handful used for notational purposes) and their pronunciation, which is the object of the following chapters.

Freebies > Articles > An Index of Basic Phonic Patterns by Vowel Types from The Teaching of Reading: a Continuum from Kindergarten through College Use this index to locate additional rimes (word families) that illustrate phonic principles taught in any reading series.

The following charts list various phonic patterns or word families associated with specific vowel patterns. To make it as easy as possible for a teacher or diagnostician to use, we have listed the most common patterns and arranged them according to the basic fourteen vowel phonemes in English.
