Okay, now I see the third column of words clearly: "gray", "trunk", "last", "prop", "go", and "we". I will analyze each one to determine its syllable type. "Gray" ends with the vowel 'y' acting as a vowel, so it's an open syllable. "Trunk" ends with the consonant 'k' after the vowel 'u', making it a closed syllable. "Last" ends with the consonant 't' after the vowel 'a', which is a closed syllable. "Prop" ends with the consonant 'p' after the vowel 'o', so it's a closed syllable. "Go" ends with the vowel 'o', making it an open syllable. Finally, "we" ends with the vowel 'e', so it's an open syllable. I have successfully categorized all six words in this column. Now that I have analyzed all 18 words, I can compile the final answer for the T-chart.
Based on the analysis of each word, here is the completed T-chart for Open and Closed Syllable Words.
Open Syllables
An open syllable ends with a vowel sound. In single-syllable words, this means the vowel is at the end and typically makes a long sound.
The following words are
Open syllables:
-
cry (ends with 'y' acting as a vowel)
-
spy (ends with 'y' acting as a vowel)
-
fly (ends with 'y' acting as a vowel)
-
she (ends with the vowel 'e')
-
be (ends with the vowel 'e')
-
gray (ends with 'y' acting as a vowel)
-
go (ends with the vowel 'o')
-
we (ends with the vowel 'e')
Closed Syllables
A closed syllable ends with a consonant sound. In single-syllable words, this means the vowel is followed by one or more consonants and typically makes a short sound.
The following words are
Closed syllables:
-
pet (vowel 'e' is followed by 't')
-
glass (vowel 'a' is followed by 'ss')
-
scan (vowel 'a' is followed by 'n')
-
crab (vowel 'a' is followed by 'b')
-
shell (vowel 'e' is followed by 'll')
-
dog (vowel 'o' is followed by 'g')
-
split (vowel 'i' is followed by 't')
-
trunk (vowel 'u' is followed by 'nk')
-
last (vowel 'a' is followed by 'st')
-
prop (vowel 'o' is followed by 'p')
