Did you feel it?

20. Speaking of GK… White side is all consonant sounds
Digraphs
Colored side is all vowel sounds
Green cards- short vowels
Blue cards- diphthongs
Yellow cards- long vowels

21. Closed Syllable ends with a consonant has only one vowel that is usually short
Open Syllable ends with a vowel has only one vowel that is usually long
vCe Syllable has one vowel followed by a consonant and a silent ‘e’ vowel is usually long
r-Controlled Syllable has a vowel followed by ‘r’; ‘r’ makes the vowel say something different
Vowel Team Syllable has a group of two or more vowels side by side usually ends with a consonant
Consonant + le Syllable is always at the end of a word; ‘e’ is silent
Final Stable Syllable is always at the end of a word; is non-decodable but predictable

22. Things to Remember Do not ‘card’
Prefixes (we know those)
Suffixes (we know those too)
Consonant+le or Final Stable (they are non-decodable, but predictable)
Each felt represents a syllable (use felts 1st, then ‘card’)
If you experience the same phoneme in a word, turn another colored card over to represent the second sound
