Welcome to Syllable Adventure!

Introduction to Open and Closed Syllables

Setting the Stage

Good morning, adventurers! 🌟 Today, we are going to embark on a fun journey into the magical land of syllables! Have you ever heard of open and closed syllables? Well, you're in for a treat because we’re going to discover what they are and how to use them!

Hook the Students

To kick off our adventure, let’s look at a mystery word!

Mystery Word Challenge 🔍

I have hidden a special word in front of you! Let’s play a game.

Here’s your clue: It has 2 parts, and it can help you find treasures!

(Hold up a treasure chest image.)

Can anyone guess what the word might be?

Reveal the Word

That's right! The word is treasure!

Now, let’s take a closer look at the word "treasure." We can divide it into syllables: trea-sure.

Introduction to Syllables

As we move forward in our lesson, I will show you how to tell if a syllable is open or closed just like we did with “treasure.”

• Open syllables end in a vowel and usually make the long sound of that vowel (like in "be," "hi," or "go.").
• Closed syllables end in a consonant and usually make the short sound of the vowel (like in "cat," "sit," or "dog.").

Now that we have a taste of our learning, let’s gather around for our Syllable Showdown game! We will identify whether words are open or closed, just like true treasure hunters! 🌊🏴‍☠️

Are you ready to find more treasures in words? Let’s go! 🔦💎

Transition to Lesson

Before we dive into our exciting activities, let’s repeat together: “Open syllables stretch out, and closed syllables lock in!”

Now, grab your notebooks and let the adventure continue! We will explore, divide, and discover! 🎉

Remember:

• Open Syllable: has a vowel at the end (like “be”)
• Closed Syllable: has a consonant at the end (like “cat”)

Let’s get started!
