Syllable Types: Open & Closed Syllable Interactive Printable Activity Pack - Free Printable

Problem Overview:

The task involves sorting syllable cards into two categories: open syllables and closed syllables. To solve this, we need to understand the definitions of these terms:

1. Open Syllable: A syllable that ends with a vowel sound. The vowel is "open" because it is not followed by a consonant.
- Examples: "no," "she," "na," "be," "me."

2. Closed Syllable: A syllable that ends with a consonant sound. The vowel is "closed" because it is followed by one or more consonants.
- Examples: "lip," "gum," "tin," "fox," "got."

Solution Approach:

We will go through each syllable in the provided list and categorize it as either open or closed based on the rules above.
