Welcome to our world of phonics adventure, crafted with love by two passionate kindergarten teachers! With a shared passion for nurturing young minds and a specific love of phonics, we shared one goal: to make early literacy education more engaging and easier to understand. Our children's stories aren't just tales - they're tools designed to intentionally make tricky phonics rules make sense to little minds.
Drawing from our classroom experiences, we blend storytelling with phonics instruction to create engaging and memorable learning experiences. Our books serve as a tool for both children and teachers, offering an easy solution to teaching complex phonics concepts. With just one read-aloud, teachers can introduce these spelling rules, learn a catchy phrase to help remember them, and enjoy an engaging and uplifting story. Join us on this journey to make phonics fun, accessible, and unforgettable for every young learner!
Phonics Rule: Open & Closed Syllables
A syllable is a part of a word that contains one vowel sound.
When a syllable has one vowel and ends with no consonants, it is called an open syllable. In an open syllable, the vowel is not closed in, so it says its long sound.
When a syllable has one vowel followed by one or more consonants, it is called a closed syllable. In a closed syllable, the vowel is closed in by the consonant(s), so it says its short sound.
Understanding whether a syllable is open or closed helps readers decide how to pronounce the vowel sound in a word.
