Name<br />

Some words have a pattern with a syllable break between<br />

two vowels. This is called the V/V pattern. The word fuel, for<br />

example, has a syllable break between the vowel u and the<br />

vowel e. This pattern is also found in words with more than two<br />

syllables, such as the word idea, which has a syllable break<br />

between the vowel e and the vowel a.<br />

Underline the words below that have a V/V pattern. Then draw<br />

a line between the two vowels in each underlined word to show<br />

where the V/V pattern is found.<br />
