Sign inDEFINITION:
A syllable is a unit of spoken language comprised of a single uninterrupted sound formed by a vowel. A syllable is also a component of pronunciation having one vowel sound, with or without surrounding consonants, forming the whole or a portion of a word; e.g., there are two syllables in baseball and three in basketball. A syllable which ends in a consonant is named a closed syllable. The name of a syllable which ends in a vowel sound is an open syllable.
HOW TO:
Examples of Syllables Each new syllable will create a new vowel sound. For example: Mississippi (Four syllables: “Miss” + “iss” + “ipp” + “i”) Rhythm (Two syllables: “rhythm”) Peace (One syllable)
Everyday Use:
Syllables are used every day in reading and writing and daily conversation.
