What the Teacher Needs to Know about Feature L: Other Syllable Juncture Doubling (Description – pp. 152-157, Word Lists – pp. 232-235) Some knowledge of Feature K (doubling and e-drop with ed and ing) is helpful for studying Feature L but not mandatory. The focus in Feature L is on the syllable junctures within base words (market) rather than between a base word and an ending (hopping). Students learn about two types of syllables – open and closed. Open syllables end with a long vowel sound (pa-per, sea-son) while closed syllables end with a consonant and have a short vowel sound (en-ter, but-ter, hop-ping). Closed syllables are usually followed by another consonant The patterns where the syllables come together (syllable junctures) are either VCV (vowel/consonant/vowel) or VCCV (vowel/consonant/consonant/vowel). Doublets are special types of the VCCV pattern in which both consonants are the same (dipper). Sorts will be done in which students look at the following categories: ♦ VCV open ♦ VCV closed ♦ VCCV ♦ doublet Sometimes vowel sounds are represented with two letters (season). These are considered a single vowel when sorting, so the word season would fit under the VCV pattern. Likewise blends and digraphs are considered as one unit, so bather would also be considered a VCV pattern since the th counts as a single consonant. Students need a basic knowledge of across-syllable patterns in order to spell and pronounce words: ♦ when a syllable ends with a long vowel sound, the consonant that follows is not doubled ♦ when a syllable has a short vowel sound, two consonants usually follow it (double); however, there are many exceptions. Students need to attend closely to the spelling of words with closed syllables to determine whether or not they have one or two consonants In decoding words, VCCV patterns are usually not too difficult. The syllable division is between the consonants. However, in VCV patterns, the division can be either before or after the consonant. Teach students to first try dividing words before the consonant and using a long vowel sound. If this doesn’t work, then try dividing the word after the consonant and using a short vowel sound. (continued on next page) After students understand patterns that extend across syllable boundaries, they are ready to learn about syllable stress or accent. The following generalities apply: ♦ stressed syllables often have a long vowel sound ♦ prefixes and suffixes are rarely stressed ♦ in two-syllable words, the first syllable is usually accented ♦ Syllables that have a schwa sound are not stressed Let students examine words to determine whether the stress is on the first or second syllable. Start with two syllable words. When they can determine the stressed syllable without mistakes and with speed and accuracy, then introduce polysyllabic words. After providing students with many opportunities to explore stress in words, have students do some highly challenging sorts, sorting by sound (stress) and pattern (acrosssyllable structure) simultaneously. These categories might be: ♦ open VCV, stress on 1st syllable ♦ open VCV, stress on 2nd syllable ♦ VCCV, stress on 1st syllable ♦ VCCV, stress on 2nd syllable ♦ doublet Feature L Sort 1a acorn bottle crater fever favor rabbit pattern soccer bacon bison clover better sudden tennis village acorn favor bacon sudden bottle rabbit bison tennis crater pattern clover village fever soccer better Feature L Sort 1a VCV open Doublet (VCCV) acorn bacon bison clover crater favor fever bottle better pattern rabbit soccer sudden tennis village Transfer Words: tunnel, happen, student, rotate Feature L Sort 2a basic absent wallet ladder labor basket even letter muffin canyon final glider yellow contest center basic labor muffin yellow absent basket canyon contest wallet even final center ladder letter glider Feature L Sort 2a VCV open VCCV Doublet basic even final glider labor absent basket canyon center contest wallet ladder yellow letter muffin Transfer Words: tulip, super, pencil, powder, inning, button Feature L Sort 3a rumor contact gossip turkey concert baby office able problem frequent supper willow trolley number female rumor concert problem trolley contact baby frequent number gossip office supper female turkey able willow Feature L Sort 3a VCV open VCCV Doublet rumor able female frequent baby contact concert number problem turkey gossip office willow trolley supper Transfer Words: welcome, window, moment, program, suffer, shallow Feature L Sort 4a lazy hundred cottage gossip carpet treason index cocoa wrapper tunnel message wedding seldom spicy getting ? lazy carpet wrapper seldom hundred treason tunnel spicy cottage index message getting gossip cocoa wedding Feature L Sort 4a VCV open VCCV Doublet ? lazy spicy treason cocoa hundred index carpet seldom cottage tunnel message gossip wrapper wedding getting Transfer Words: spoken, zebra, thunder, twenty, blossom, soccer *** The words in the “?” column don’t fit any of the patterns because the doubling of the consonants is between the base word and the ending, not between syllables within a word.
