Визначення та Значення "open syllable"

What is an "open syllable"?

An open syllable is a type of syllable that ends with a vowel sound and does not have a consonant following it. This structure typically results in a long vowel sound. For example, in the word "go," the syllable "go" is open because it ends with the vowel "o" and has no consonant after it. Open syllables are important in phonics and reading because they help with understanding vowel pronunciation and syllable patterns in words. Recognizing open syllables aids in improving reading fluency and pronunciation skills.
