In our phonics work we have been identifying and marking closed-syllable words lately. Closed-syllable words have exactly one vowel, and it is "closed in" with at least one consonant at the end, which means the vowel sound is short. (Every type of word we've learned to spell so far this year (other than trick words) has been a one-syllable, closed-syllable word, but now we know what they are and know how to mark them.) This will prepare us to learn about and spell another syllable type soon...
