3. Welded Sounds
• Welded sounds are green sound cards.
• The three letters have individual sounds,
but they are welded together and difficult
to separate
• To tap this out, use three fingers tapping
together at the same time.

16. Syllables
• Words have parts that go together called
syllables.
• A syllable is a word that can be pushed out in
one breath.
• Cat is one syllable
• Catnip has two syllables

17. Syllables
• There are six types of syllables
• All the words so far have been closed syllables
b a t
• A closed syllable only has 1 vowel and must be
closed in.
• A closed syllable gives the vowel a short

18. Syllables
• There need not be a consonant in front of the
vowel. The important point is that one vowel in
closed in by one consonant
a t

19. Syllables
• A vowel can be closed in with more than one
consonant
b a th
s u ch

20. Which ones are closed?
s h e i t
s u ch
l o a f

21. Which ones are closed?
such= has one vowel closed with ch
she= has only one vowel, but is not
