Next week, we will begin Unit 7. Here is a summary of the last two units.
Unit 5
Syllables – Words are made up of parts called syllables. Sounds go together
to make each part. Each syllable is one push of breath.
Compound Words – two words together that combine to make a longer word.
Syllable Division Rules
•In order to divide compound words into syllables, we simply divide between the two words (hand bag, chest nut)
•Divide between two consonants (hap pen, gob lin) •Do not split-up digraphs (rock et, eth nic)
•For now, when there is only one consonant between two vowels, that consonant is needed to close in the first syllable. (rel ish, ton ic) •Blend stays together in second syllable (mat tress, hun dred)
New Suffixes – 4 new consonant suffixes: -ness, -less, -ment, -ful 3 new vowel suffixes: -able, -ish, -en
Using –ic at the end of multisyllabic words – Multisyllabic words ending with the /ik/ sound are spelled with –ic not –ick.
Vowel Team – Students are introduced to the vowel teams au and aw. Students are not expected to master these until later on in Level 2.
Unit 6
Vowel-Consonant-e Syllable- This syllable has a vowel, then a consonant,
then an e.
•The first vowel is long. To indicate the long sound, the vowel is marked with a macron. ̄
•The e is silent.
•This syllable can be combined with other syllables to make multisyllabic words.

•The e is silent.
•This syllable can be combined with other syllables to make multisyllabic words.
Two sounds for u in a v-e syllable - /ū/ as in mule (or use, cute) or /ü/ as
in rule (or tube, June)
S can say /z/ - when added to a word as suffix or when it is between two vowels, as in the words nose, rose, or wise.
Spelling Options – Sometimes two spellings make sense: ex. rose and roze Decide which looks correct. If you don’t know, FIND OUT Vowel-Consonant-e Syllable Exception - The letter v does not end words in our language. It is always followed by a silent e. Ex: give, have
Unit 7
Open Syllable – The vowel can say its name because there is nothing
closing it in.
Y as a vowel – Y often works as a vowel in open syllables, saying long /ī/ at the end of one syllable words (cry) and long /ē/ at the
end of multisyllabic words (baby)
New Syllable Division Rule – If there is only one consonant between two vowels, try dividing the word both ways in order to find the correct division. Ex: fi nal, fin ish
New Suffixes – one new vowel suffix (-y) that says long /ē/ two consonant suffixes (-ly, -ty)
S can say /z/ - when added to a word as suffix or when it is between two vowels, as in the words nose, rose, or wise.
