By clapping or tapping out the beats in a word, we can figure out how many syllables it has!

Some words have one beat like "cat" and some have more like "elephant"

For example, the word "happy" has two beats hap-pySo, it has two syllables.

When we say a word, we can clap our hands for each beat or sound we hear.

Syllables are like beats in a word.

The letter o and letter e in the word “poet” are a V/V syllable pattern. The letter o in poet is a part of the first syllable that says “poh”. The letter e is a part of the second syllable that says “et” So it’s pronounced “Po-et”.

POET

two vowels sit next to each other in a word, each making their own separate sounds

In the V/V syllable pattern, V stands for vowels

The first syllable is open, with the long i sound. The second syllable is closed, with a short o sound

Therefore, the word qualifies as a V/V word and gets divided between the two vowels making it li/on.

For example: Let’s look at the word lion. When you locate the vowels in the word, you’ll notice that ‘io’ is not a recognizable vowel team.

(V/V) Words Rule If the two vowels next to each other are NOT a vowel team or vowel digraph, divide between the two vowels.
