Let’s blend the syllables to read the word: /m/ /ō/ /m/ /ĕ/ /n/ /t/, moment. What’s the word? moment 6 • Repeat the process with a VC/V word, such as finish. • Explain that if the word does not make sense, children should divide the word after the consonant. • Draw a slash after the consonant. Explain that this is now a closed syllable and the vowel is short. • Have children sound out each syllable and blend the syllables to read the word. fi/nish /f/ / Ĭ/ /n/ / Ĭ/ /sh/ v/cv Does /f/ / Ī/ /n/ /Ĭ/ /sh/ make sense? no fin/ish vc/v Let’s break the syllable after the consonant like this.
