Syllables

A syllable is a part of a word that is made up of one vowel sound. The word sound is in bold because sometimes two or more vowels work together to create a single vowel sound. For instance, the word syllable has three syllables (syl-la-ble).

Here are the one-syllable words from this unit: 


	snare			glare			rare

	square			share			fruit
	
	peach			grape			rice
That's nine one-syllable words.

Here are the two-syllable words from this unit: 


	cherry			wild
That's two two-syllable words. The word "wild" is odd in that it only has one vowel and yet it is pronounced as two syllables.
