What is a syllable?

A syllable is a single, unbroken sound of a spoken (or written) word. Syllables usually contain a vowel and accompanying consonants. Sometimes syllables are referred to as the ‘beats’ of spoken language.

Syllables differ from phonemes in that a phoneme is the smallest unit of sound; the number of syllables in a word is unrelated to the number of phonemes it contains. For example: /b/, /k/, /t/, /ch/, /sh/, /ee/, /ai/, /igh/, /ear/ are all phonemes. The word ‘chat’ is made up of three phonemes (/ch/ /a/ /t/). The word ‘light’ is made up of three phonemes (/l/ /igh/ /t/).  However, both the words ‘chat’ and ‘light’ have only one syllable each.

The number of times you hear a vowel (a, e, i , o, u) in a word is equal to the number of syllables a word has. A good way to identify syllables is to think about whether you need to change your mouth shape to say the next bit of the word / the new syllable.

Learning about syllables in primary school

Learning about syllables is part of learning how to decode and spell words. It helps children understand the conventions of English spelling, including when to double letters and how to pronounce the vowels in words they might not have seen before.

Teachers will often get children to clap out the syllables of a word, to help them to understand the concept. (A good game to introduce syllables is to ask each child to stand up and say their name, while clapping out the syllables.)

For example:
 

• Cat   has one syllable (words of one syllable are monosyllabic)
• Water   has two syllables (wa / ter)
• Computer   has three syllables (com / pu / ter)
• Category   has four syllables (cat / e / gor / y)

Syllables in KS1 English

Children in Key Stage 1 will be expected to read words of two syllables. They may be shown how to split the words up into syllables, in order to help them sound them out. For example: if they are shown the word ‘thunder’ and get stuck, a teach may cover the second half of the word (‘der’) and ask them to just sound out the first syllable. Once they have managed this, they uncover the rest of the word and ask them to sound this out.

Children in Key Stage 1 will also learn to spell words with two syllables, at which point they will be encouraged to separate the two syllables themselves, in order to learn the spelling of the whole word.

Syllables in KS2 English

During Key Stage 2, children will progress to learning the spellings of words containing four syllables (or possibly more). They also learn about the use of syllables in poetry.

Children may learn about syllables through writing haikus. A haiku is a Japanese poem with three lines, the first containing 5 syllables, the second containing 7 syllables and the third containing 5 syllables.

This is a haiku about a frog:

Wet amphibian,
Gulps, blinks and flicks out his tongue
To snatch a black fly.

Writing haikus encourages children to think about syllables, but also to think very carefully about their word choices – it may be that one word has too many syllables and does not fit, so they have to think of a new, similar word that fits the given criteria.

Another poetic form based on syllable number is the limerick (the first, second and fifth lines rhyme and have the same number of syllables, usually eight or nine).

How many syllables are in the word dangerous and spruce

How to determine how many syllables are in a word is taught in the first grade. However, if the baby knows how to divide a word into syllables already at preschool age, this is a great advantage. Subsequently, it will be easier for him to quickly learn to read and write correctly. How do you know how many syllables are in a word?

Rules for dividing into syllables

The most basic rule for dividing a word into syllables is as follows:

How many vowels in a word, so many syllables.

Here is an example:

• Table - 1 vowel, 1 syllable
• Cat - 2 vowels, 2 syllables, etc.

However, in order to correctly divide a word into syllables, you need to know a few more rules.

Syllables are open and closed. Open ones end in a vowel, and closed ones end in a consonant. When dividing a word into syllables for reading, we form open syllables.

For example:

Ko-shka, ta-bu-ret, pi-ra-mi-da, for-e-grip.

As you may have noticed, the rules for dividing into syllables for reading differ significantly from the rules for hyphenation. In the latter case, it is recommended not to transfer one vowel to another line and not to tear off letters from a prefix, root or suffix. In children's books designed specifically for teaching reading, words are divided into open syllables. One vowel can make up one syllable. Thanks to this rule, it is easier for children to pronounce words in syllables, focusing on vowels. Subsequently, they themselves begin to easily determine how many syllables are in a word, and how to divide.

How many syllables are in the words "dangerous" and "spruce"?

Let's take as an example the division into syllables of the words "dangerous" and "spruce".

In general, the words "dangerous" and "spruce" are quite easy, and it is also not difficult to determine how many syllables they contain.

Dangerous (4 vowels, that means 4 syllables): o-pa-sno-e (we refer the letter “c” to the third syllable in order to get open syllables according to the rules for dividing words into syllables for reading).

However, from the point of view of phonetics, the last syllable will not be considered open, since the letter "e" stands for two sounds: "y" and "e". But since we cannot divide the letter “e” into sounds in writing, this syllable is considered open.

The situation is similar with the word “spruce”. According to the phonetic transcription, it has three sounds and three letters: [yel (soft)]. But since there is only one vowel sound, it turns out, that the word "spruce" has one syllable .

More examples

Let's give some more examples to determine how many syllables are in a word. Take more complex words, where it will be more difficult to determine how many syllables.

• Drive up: drive up
• Drive in: drive up

In such seemingly complex words, we still focus on the general rule and divide the word into open syllables.

There is only one exception to this rule:

If there is a soft consonant in the middle of the word, then it joins the previous syllable, for example: e.

In other cases, the rule for dividing words into syllables in Russian remains unchanged.
