VCV Pattern
In open syllables, which end in a vowel,
the vowel sound is often long.
In closed syllables, which end in a
constant, the vowel sound is often short.

v / c v
This word has a vowel-consonant-vowel pattern.
That means I should try dividing the word into
syllables before the consonant. This is an open
syllable, so the vowel sound is probably long.
This next syllable is closed so the vowel sound is
probably short. Now I’ll blend the syllables and
say pilot.

finish
The routine doesn’t always give the
correct pronunciation.
A long in in the first syllable creates a
nonsense word.
Some VCV words must be divided into
syllables after the consonant.
VCV Pattern
Words with the vowel-consonant-vowel
pattern can be divided into syllables.
You should try the V/CV division first, with
the long vowel sond in the first syllable.
If they word doesn’t make sense, you
should then use the VC/v division and a
short vowel sound in the first syllable.
