Syllable Division Bootcamp:All 8 Syllabication Rules

[@SilverSpring2010]

Wonderful. Love it. I can use this info to teach my grandchildren to read.

[@OneMinuteReadingTutor]

That's wonderful! I'm so glad you found it helpful. Let me know if there's anything else I can do to help.

[@mamadousy2260]

This is what I was looking for! Thank you so much for the explanations!

[@OneMinuteReadingTutor]

I'm glad it was helpful. I have a newer edition here kzbin.info/www/bejne/eIjdq4OnYrFri9U with additional information. Be sure to share the video with friends.

Good morning your video tutorial is really awesome and I like the simplicity of how you explain for students to get the skill. My question is at which point are you teaching this? Do you teach while you teach prefix/suffix for example? Thank you in advance

[@OneMinuteReadingTutor]

I'm glad you like it. Be sure to check out the expandsed second edition at kzbin.info/www/bejne/eIjdq4OnYrFri9U. Many of these rules might be too difficult for young kids to understand. Learning to recognize important prefixes and suffixes and compound words are probably the easiest for younger readers. The rest of the rules can wait until they're a little older, say ages 8-10+.

Can you help me identify the syllable rules for the word Pomegranate.

[@OneMinuteReadingTutor]

Sure, but first I want to make sure that everyone understands that these rules are a *starting* place for reading long words. They are really more like guidelines that rules that always work like in math. The dictionary will divide them based on actual pronunciation. For reading purposes, divide after vowels and before single consonants. po-me-gra-nate GR is a blend, so those letters stay together. (Blends are groups of consonants that usually stay together in syllables. You can find lists of them online. I may have put a list in the video's description.) NATE stays together because the silent E at the end needs to be in a syllable. After dividing the word, we first try the long O in PO and the long E in ME. Since that doesn't give us a recognizable word, we then try again with a short O and short E. The same goes for trying a long A in GRA before trying a short A. NATE takes on a schwa sound and sounds more like NIT or NUT because we don't generally accent the last syllable in long English words, and we'd have to accent it to keep a long A sound. Miriam Webster divides pomegranate as pome-gra-nate (www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/pomegranate). It looks like they do this because the first E is silent in the alternate pronunciation, which I have never heard an American use.

Good

[@OneMinuteReadingTutor]

Thanks.

[@jacobstc]

There is only one syllabication rule: Divided syllables, whether spoken or written, must be phonetic and they match each other in a one-to-one manner. Thus all of the video's syllabification rules are exercises in futility.

Jacobstc: Are you Texan? Texans, despite thinking their sh*t doesn't stink, are among the worst speakers of English in the United States. All English rules were NEVER taught. Most importantly, you should check your grammar before critizing.

[@SmartJandira]

good explanation. I'd suggest simpler words. Blatant?!, Not an everyday most used words. Not criticizing, If you want to reach the largest possible views just simplify. Thanks.

[@OneMinuteReadingTutor]

You're right. I probably should simplify the vocabulary for younger students and English language learners.

[@TaiLe-dr5ve]

Do you know maximal onset rule, the syllable usually divide after vowel in CVC pattern? Priority beginning the second syllable with a consonant, for example: many --> /ˈme.ni/, not /ˈmen.i/

Sorry, I don't know anything about linguistics. My videos are aimed at average people trying to help their children read better.
