medical health brain and nervous system disordersWhat is syllabic division?
Syllable Division. 1 SYLLABLE WORD A one syllable word is NEVER divided. It has one or more letters but one vowel sound (beat), and is produced by a single voice impulse.
In this manner, what is a syllable example?
A syllable is a part of a word that contains a single vowel sound and that is pronounced as a unit. So, for example, 'book' has one syllable, and 'reading' has two syllables. We children called her Oma, accenting both syllables.
- Look at the word. Circle the vowel sounds with red.
- Underline the consonants BETWEEN the vowels (don't worry about the other consonants).
- Determine which syllable division rule (VC/CV, V/CV, VC/V, or V/V) applies.
- Cut or mark the word accordingly.
- Read the word.
In this regard, how many syllables are in explanation?
2 syllables
1 syllable
