Great instructional video - works for independent / adult ESL learners too. I teach this in my adult classes and it's proven to tremendously advance not only their reading but also their speaking.

very helpful video! My 5y old son had no idea how to read 2 months ago. I started to teach him phonics and at the same time, I read Razkids C level articles with him. Now he has no problem to read Razkid level F and know how to pronounce the words he didn’t know.

You made my day! Thank you.

Extremely helpful video. Please keep up the good work. I will definitely look into your other work.

I needed this basic knowledge to teach syllable patterns. Thank You Allison.

As a german student in (10th grade, having been studying english for 7 years lol), this helped a LOT! Thank you so much!

Good lesson.

Thank you !!! I teach kids English)))

Thanks it also helps foreigners who's learning English

Thanks

It was important thing for me

can you comment more on the VC/V pattern & why the example word COMET is broken as COM / ET vs CO / MET? Thanks!

Great video! Where is the link for the free resources to go along with the 4 must know syllable division rules?

I learned to teach with scoops underneath as opposed to splitting it with the line because the line could be confused with an L

I really appreciate your help but we need more videos about syllables, with more examples. Is there a book or a website we can learn more from?

Thank you. Your videos are very helpful. I love your phonic program.

Thank you so much for this lesson. You nailed it down for me.

Great Alice

There is only one syllabification rule in English: Syllables are to be divided in such a way that the written syllables match the spoken ones in a one-to-one correspondence. For example, using the International Phonetic Alphabet, belly has the transcription /'be.li/ as the spoken syllables are ['be] and ['li].

The examples 'bathtub' and 'softball' are different because they are compound words. The syllable boundary is between the two words that have been compounded. This removes the need to incorrectly treat 'ft' as a digraph. This is separate to the VC/CV split which is as per some of your other examples in the comments is related to double consonants or consonant clusters, e.g. married, supper, dimple.

Hello, teacher, how's it going? I'd like to know if you have a video explaining the stressed's word rules😅

Well done! Like it very much. I hope in the future hyphens will get replaced with vertical bars to do syllabifications because they (hyphens) lead to confusions some times. Example: Chinese and korean given names mostly consists of two syllables. Some romanizations show the syllables, others dont. I ll give you an example from Korea: 1) Gildong 2) Gil-dong Its a given name. The problem is hyphens are also used to connect two seperate names with each other, like Jean-Claude or the german names Hans-Peter. The only difference is the first letter of the second syllable isnt capitalized, Gil-dong, not Gil-Dong. But since today so many ppl are spelling without usuing capital letters anymore, it looks like gil-dong and hans-peter, you cant see gildong is one name but hans and peter are two names. A vertiacal bar is better. Gil|dong and Hans-Peter gil|dong and hans-peter There is no confustion anymore.

Tks Madam for these however, I was waiting how to pronounce the second syllable of the softball i.e ball as all are short vowels but it did not happen so pls help.

Hello, I have got a question: We divide the word process right after the consonant which is between two vowels though the first vowel is long, could you tell me why????🤔

v|cv and vc|v, how to know which one is use for a word, we must look up dictionary or is there any tip to know this rule?

My 3 year old can read 3 letter words now. Can blend well. What should be the next step?

Goog job

Could you explain how to divide “stubborn”, “possum”, “married”?

Please I want to ask a question There are a lot of videos teach kids to read in that pattern Pa. Pe. Pi. Po. Pu And pronounce the vowel as short sound. Isn't that wrong?? I think it will be opened syllable that way and will be pronounced as long sound not short as they do. Am I right??

When i Split as v/cv or vc/v please.thank you toi much.

I am studying English right now.

How would you say Poem? Is it like po-em or poem?

🎉

What is the rule for consonant belnds? like start, floor, cream

❤

Thanks ma'am this video so helpful .Can you please send pdf ma'am

why does counter has two syllables as count-er, while not as coun-ter?

Do you provide worksheets

❤😊

now I'm really confused. No wonder I can't do haiku.

Did you learn about syllables by simply clapping?⁠

Hey

Child is learn my English but he is not read what can I do

does this help to identify the long vowel or short vowel in the first syllable ? nope then why this syllable concept i don't understand.my point here is how do I know if it is a long vowel or short vowel in the word CABIN.what ist the point in knowing the pronunciation of a word and dividing it into syllables ?.if syllable helps in pronouncing the words accurately then its worth studying else its just a waste of time .

Ouf! Vous parlez beaucoup trop vite, c’est vraiment difficile de vous suivre. Dommage! Ce que vous dites sembles vraiment intéressant.

About the word 'city', do you pronounce /ˈsɪt-i/ or /ˈsɪ-ti/? In Cambridge Dictionary it writes /ˈsɪt.i/. Thanks!

The word 'rhythm' we divide /ˈrɪð.əm/ or /ˈrɪ.ðəm/?
