Words with two syllables 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

Examples of words consisting of 2 syllables

There are a lot of words of two syllables in Russian. The shortest words of two syllables consist of two letters: ay (hawk in the forest), ia (the sound of a donkey). There are words of three letters: eye, name, echo, they, Anya, Yura and others. They are divided into two parts (two syllables), but they cannot be transferred from one line to another.
Most two-syllable words consist of 4-6 letters. Among them are common nouns and proper names: winter, squirrel, rainbow, Eagle, Volga, Moscow.
There are fewer words with two syllables of 7 letters (barrel, thingdoc, discount, quarter, etc.) and a few words with 8 or more letters (brutal, splash, etc.). nine0005
