What is the closed syllable type?
Aug 28, 2024My daughter had her 8-year-old wellness check earlier this week. During the check, we discussed starting a multivitamin - for those days when food choices may not be ideal.
A multivitamin supports the body by helping boost energy and fill in nutritional gaps.
Knowing the six syllable types is like a multivitamin for your literacy brain.
This knowledge supports literacy by helping boost overall word recognition, decoding skills and fills in any learning gaps.

A closed syllable is when a consonant comes AFTER the vowel making the vowel have a short sound. This syllable type is usually the first words students learn how to read and spell (CVC words).
