WEBSTERʼS

SYLLABARY
This is the alphabet and the numbers.
Let’s practice their names:

Aa Bb Cc Dd
Ee Ff Gg
Hh Ii Jj Kk
M
Ll Nn Oo Pp
m
Qq Rr Ss
Tt Uu Vv
W
Xx Yy Zz
w
0123456789
These are the vowels:

A
E
I
O
U and sometimes

Y
These are the consonants:

BCD
FG
HJK
LMNP
QRS
TV
WXYZ
Now let’s practice the short vowel sounds:

Ă
Ĕ
Ĭ
Ŏ
Ŭ
This is a syllabary. It will teach you the syllables. If you
can spell and read all the syllables, you will be able to read
any word, even very long ones!
We speak and write in words. Words can be broken into
smaller sound parts. These parts are called syllables.
A syllable is a single, unbroken sound of a spoken or
written word. It must always have a vowel.

We can think of syllables as beats. When we hear a beat in


music, we can clap to it. You can also clap along to the
syllables of a word.

Let’s try it:


cat
ap ple
la dy bug
sal a man der

You can also put your hand under your chin as you say a word
and every time your chin touches your hand, that is a syllable.

Let’s try it:

dog
but ter
ba na na
a ma zing ly

Now we will practice spelling and reading (sounding out) syllables.


We use letter names when spelling and sounds when reading.
Syllables ending in a consonant are closed syllables and their vowels
say their short sound (i.e., cab, Jeb, fib, bob, cub).

ĂB
ĔB
ĬB
ŎB
ŬB

Now we will learn the long vowel sounds.
These are where the vowels say their name:

Ā
Ē
Ī
Ō
Ū
Ȳ
Most syllables ending in a vowel are open syllables. In open syllables,
the vowels say their long sound or letter name. We will practice them
now:

BĀ
BĒ
BĪ
BŌ
BŪ
BȲ
ce, ci and cy are pronounced se, si, sy.
