Name<br />

The point at which two syllables meet determines whether the<br />

vowel sound is long or short. If the syllable ends in a vowel, as in<br />

the word hu-man, then the vowel sound is long and has a V/CV<br />

pattern. If the syllable ends in a consonant, then the vowel sound<br />

is short and has a VC/V pattern, as in wag-on.<br />

Say the words below and break them into syllables. Then write the<br />

word in syllables on the lines provided. Write long if the word<br />

has a V/CV pattern. Write short if the word has a VC/V pattern.<br />
