V/CV and suffix ing

In this lesson, we learned about the V/CV syllable division pattern.

Syllable Division – V/CV

In this pattern, words divide after the first vowel. The first syllable is open with a long vowel sound. Examples: ho/tel, ba/sin, mu/sic

We also learned about the vowel suffix ‘ing’ – means ‘happening now’.

A suffix is added to the end of a base word and changes the meaning or function of the word. Suffixes are on red cards in our sound deck.

Examples:  lasting, sending, bringing, stocking, fussing
