Let's solve this V.C.V (Vowel-Consonant-Vowel) Syllable worksheet step by step.

The goal is to divide each word into two syllables, based on the V.C.V pattern, where a consonant between two vowels often marks a syllable break. We’ll split each word into its first and second syllables.

🔤 Understanding V.C.V Syllables:

In words with a vowel-consonant-vowel (V.C.V) pattern, the consonant usually belongs to the second syllable. For example:

- ho-tel → "ho" (1st syllable), "tel" (2nd syllable)

We’ll apply this rule to each word.

✔ Now, let’s fill in the table:

📝 Explanation of Key Words:

1. hotel → *ho* + *tel*
- The 't' is the consonant between two vowels ('o' and 'e'), so it goes with the second syllable.

2. bacon → *ba* + *con*
- 'c' is between 'a' and 'o', so it goes with the second syllable.

3. begin → *be* + *gin*
- 'g' is between 'e' and 'i', so it goes with the second syllable.

4. lady → *la* + *dy*
- 'd' is between 'a' and 'y', so it goes with the second syllable.

5. super → *su* + *per*
- 'p' is between 'u' and 'e', so it goes with the second syllable.

6. lilac → *li* + *ac*
- 'l' is between 'i' and 'a', but here 'l' is shared; typically, we split after the first vowel: *li* + *lac*, but since it's a common word, *li-lac* is correct.

7. tulip → *tu* + *lip*
- 'l' is between 'u' and 'i' → *tu* + *lip*

8. female → *fe* + *male*
- 'm' is between 'e' and 'a' → *fe* + *male*

9. human → *hu* + *man*
- 'm' between 'u' and 'a' → *hu* + *man*

10. humid → *hu* + *mid*
- 'm' between 'u' and 'i' → *hu* + *mid*

11. over → *o* + *ver*
- 'v' between 'o' and 'e' → *o* + *ver*

12. spider → *spi* + *der*
- 'd' between 'i' and 'e' → *spi* + *der*

13. solo → *so* + *lo*
- 'l' between 'o' and 'o' → *so* + *lo*

14. siren → *si* + *ren*
- 'r' between 'i' and 'e' → *si* + *ren*

15. pilot → *pi* + *lot*
- 'l' between 'i' and 'o' → *pi* + *lot*

✔ Final Answer Table:

| Word | 1st Syllable | 2nd Syllable |
|----------|--------------|---------------|
| hotel | ho | tel |
| bacon | ba | con |
| begin | be | gin |
| lady | la | dy |
| super | su | per |
| lilac | li | ac |
| tulip | tu | lip |
| female | fe | male |
| human | hu | man |
| humid | hu | mid |
| begin | be | gin |
| over | o | ver |
| spider | spi | der |
| solo | so | lo |
| siren | si | ren |
| pilot | pi | lot |

> ✔ Note: Some words like "lilac" or "siren" may have different pronunciations, but for educational purposes, the V.C.V split is used as shown.

This exercise helps students understand how syllables are divided using the V.C.V pattern, which is foundational for reading and spelling.
