I am recently retired and sold most of my books, but one of my favorite CHARACTER book...See More

Open and Closed Syllables

by Madeline

Feb 15, 2012

Can anyone answer this questions for me? Is the word "car" an open or closed syllable word? Or is it either one? I think, from my reading, that open or closed have to do with the short or long vowels.

Another question, if "ou" says "ow" like in cow, or "o" like in grow, is that a digraph or dipthong? Which category would "thorough" fit? Th...See More

paula there are six different types of syllables.

open/closed either end with vowel (open and usually long vowel sound) consonant (closed short vowel sound)

car is an r controlled vowel, and I don't think falls into either category.

Diane Henderson Hi Kathy, Charlie posted on the 1st grade ring and somehow I found myself here. Even tho' my site is geared more to K-1st, since you are still looking for Leap Day and frog things and I have lots of FREE stuff on both, you might still be able to find a few ideas that you can gear up, like the "Frog Math Facts".

You can write any facts on ...See More

Judy2/CA I use a lot of poems with my kids - some from books but a lot I find online. Just google children's poems, patriotic poems for children, etc and you should find many poems you can use. I don't go to any particular site.

Take Home Reading

Feb 28, 2012

Would anyone be willing to share how your take home reading program works? We are interested in improving ours and are looking for any and all ideas. We use leveled books, but so many of them are too much to read in one night, so ideas for record keeping would be helpful. How do you organize them, and how often do the kids select new books to take ...See More
