50+ Syllables worksheets for 6th Grade on Quizizz | Free & Printable - Free Printable

Let's solve each question step by step, focusing on closed syllables. A closed syllable is a syllable that ends with a consonant and has a short vowel sound (e.g., "cat", "dog"). In closed syllables, the vowel is usually short.

We'll go through each word and determine the correct syllable division based on phonetic rules and common patterns.

1. fabric

- The word fabric has two syllables: fa and bric.
- But we need to check which division matches pronunciation.
- Pronunciation: /ˈfæb.rɪk/
- Correct syllable break: fab/ric
- "fab" → short 'a' sound
- "ric" → 'i' is short
- ✔ Answer: A. fab/ric

> ✘ B. fabr/ic — too long first syllable
> ✘ C. f/abric — invalid split
> ✘ D. fa/bric — "fa" is not a full syllable; missing the 'b'

✔ Correct: A

2. goblet

- Word: goblet
- Pronunciation: /ˈɡɒb.lət/ or /ˈɡɑːb.lət/
- Two syllables: gob and let

- ✔ Answer: D. gob/let

> ✘ A. gob/et — "et" is not pronounced like that
> ✘ B. goble/t — "goble" isn't a real syllable

5. lizard

- Two syllables: liz and ard
- "liz" has short 'i', "ard" has short 'a'

6. album

- Word: album
- Pronunciation: /ˈæl.bəm/
- Two syllables: al and bum
- "al" has short 'a', "bum" has short 'u'
- ✔ Answer: A. al/bum

> ✘ B. albu/m — "albu" is too long
> ✘ C. alb/um — "alb" is not a syllable
> ✘ D. al/bum — same as A? Wait — D says al/bum, same as A?

Wait — let’s check:

- A: a/lbum → “a” + “lbum” → “a” is not a syllable
- D: al/bum → “al” + “bum” → both are valid syllables

So:
- A: a/lbum — invalid
- D: al/bum — correct

But wait — A is written as "a/lbum", which means "a" and "lbum" — "a" alone isn't a syllable
- D: al/bum — "al" and "bum" — yes

✔ Correct: D. al/bum

> ✘ A. a/lbum — "a" is not a syllable
> ✘ B. albu/m — "albu" is not a syllable
> ✘ C. alb/um — "alb" is not a syllable

✔ Correct: D
