A Closed Syllable is one in which the single vowel makes a short sound (ban, hip, pal, man).
Examples of what our work will look like:
focus = fo/cus (v/cv) vowel/consonant, vowel pattern
fo = open, cus = closed
limit = lim/it (vc/v) vowel, consonant/vowel pattern
lim = closed, it = closed
banjo = ban/jo (vc/cv) vowel, consonant/consonant, vowel
ban = closed, jo = open
Red Words: all, been, once, give, would
