Open and Closed Syllables online activity - Free Printable

Let's solve this "Open and Closed Syllable Words" activity step by step.

---

🔤 First, let's understand the rules:

- Open Syllable: A syllable that ends with a vowel and has a long vowel sound.
Example: *go*, *she*, *we* — the vowel is long because it's at the end.

- Closed Syllable: A syllable that ends with a consonant, which makes the vowel short.
Example: *pet*, *dog*, *crab* — the vowel is short because it’s followed by a consonant.

> ✔ Tip: One-syllable words ending in a vowel are usually open syllables (long vowel).
> ✔ One-syllable words ending in a consonant are usually closed syllables (short vowel).
