Two syllable words for kids

2 Syllable Words | The Ultimate Word List

If your child is doing really well beginning to read, it may be time to move along to 2 syllable words. 

Let’s take a look at what syllables are and some common two syllable word lists!

What is a syllable?

A syllable is a single vowel sound, pronounced as a unit as a word itself or as part of a word. Sometimes it can be called a “word chunk” or a “beat”. 

Typically early readers will learn single syllable word families and once those have been mastered they are ready to move onto 2 syllable words. 

How do you identify two syllable words?

A two syllable word is a word that when spoken has two specific sounds or beats to them. Perhaps when you were younger your teacher had you clap out the syllables.

For each vowel sound (read: not number of vowels) is the number of syllables in the word. 

Example:

A one syllable word: Bat

A two syllable word: But-ter

A three syllable sound: Ba-na-na

What is the longest 2-syllable word?

In the English language there are many long 2 syllable words. Here are a few of them:

• Breaststroke
• Outstretched
• Strengthened
• Breakthrough

Open vs Closed Syllable Words

An open syllable ends in a vowel and almost always has a long vowel sound.

Example of open syllable words: 

• Pa-per
• Ba-con
• Be-gin
• Ti-dy
• Pi-lot

In a closed syllable, the vowels are typically surrounded by consonants and tend to have short vowel sounds. 

Examples of closed syllable words:

• Bas-ket
• Hel-met
• Muf-fin
• Bet-ter
• Hap-py

Didactic games and exercises for the formation of the syllabic structure of the word

Formation in children of grammatically correct, lexically rich and phonetically clear speech, enabling verbal communication and preparing for schooling is one of the important tasks in the overall system of work on training child's native language in kindergarten and in the family.

For the education of a full-fledged personality, it is necessary eliminate everything that interferes with free communication child with the team. It is important that children mastered their native language as early as possible, they spoke correctly, clearly, expressively. Especially necessary for the child becomes the right pronunciation of sounds and words when he begins to acquire literacy. Practice speech therapy work shows that often on the first plan in preschool age is put forward correction of sound pronunciation and underestimated the meaning of the formation of the syllabic structure of words, and this is one of the causes of dysgraphia and dyslexia in schoolchildren.

Among the various speech disorders in children preschool age is one of the most difficult for correction is such a special manifestation speech pathology, as a violation of syllable word structures. This speech defect characterized by difficulty in pronunciation of words complex syllabic composition (violation of the order syllables in a word, omissions or adding new ones syllables or sounds). Violation of the syllabic structure words are usually detected in speech therapy examination of children with general underdevelopment of speech. As a rule, the range of these violations varies: from minor difficulties pronunciation of words of a complex syllabic structure in conditions of spontaneous speech to gross violations in repetition by the child of two- and three-syllable words without consonant confluences even with the support of visualization. Deviations in the reproduction of the syllabic composition words can appear as follows:

1. Violation of the number of syllables:
- contraction of a syllable;
- omission of a syllable-forming vowel;
- an increase in the number of syllables due to insertion vowels.
2. Violation of the sequence of syllables in a word:
- permutation of syllables;
- permutation of the sounds of adjacent syllables.
3. Distortion of the structure of a single syllable:
- reduction of consonant clusters;
- inserting consonants into a syllable.
4. Assimilation of syllables.
5. Perseverations (cyclic repetition).
6. Anticipation (replacement of previous sounds subsequent ones).
7. Contamination (mixing word elements).

Violation of the syllabic structure of words can persist in children with pathology of speech development for quite a long time, revealing any once the child is confronted with a new sound-syllabic and morphological structure words [4].

The choice of methods and techniques of corrective work to eliminate this violation always preceded by an examination of the child, during which reveals the degree and level of violation syllabic structure of words. This will set the limits of the level accessible to the child, with which should start corrective exercises.

This type of work is based on the principle a systematic approach in the correction of speech violations and classification by A.K. Markova [10], which distinguishes 14 types of syllabic structure words in increasing degree of complexity:

1. Two-syllable words from open syllables (willow, children).
2. Three-syllable words from open syllables (hunting, raspberries).
3. Monosyllabic words (house, juice).
4. Two-syllable words with a closed syllable (sofa, furniture).
5. Two-syllable words with a confluence of consonants in middle of the word (bank, branch).
6. Two-syllable words from closed syllables (tulip, compote).
7. Three-syllable words with a closed syllable (behemoth, telephone).
8. Three-syllable words with a confluence of consonants (room, boots).
9. Three-syllable words with a confluence of consonants and closed syllable (lamb, ladle).
10. Three-syllable words with two confluences consonants (tablet, matryoshka).
11. Monosyllabic words with a confluence of consonants in the beginning of the word (table, cupboard).
12. Monosyllabic words with a confluence of consonants in end of word (elevator, umbrella).
13. Two-syllable words with two confluences consonants (lash, button).
14. Four-syllable words from open syllables (turtle, piano).

Corrective work to overcome violations the syllabic structure of words consists of development of speech-auditory perception and speech motor skills. I built my work in two stages:

- preparatory; the purpose of this stage is prepare the child for the assimilation of rhythmic word structures of the native language;
- corrective; the purpose of this stage is direct correction of syllabic defects word structures in a particular child.

During the preparatory phase of , I exercises first on a non-verbal level, and then verbal.
