To solve this worksheet, we need to find the correct way to break each word into syllables. The title says "Open Syllables." An open syllable usually ends with a long vowel sound (like the 'a' in *paper* or the 'o' in *robot*).
Here is the step-by-step breakdown for each picture:
1.
Paper: The first syllable is "pa". It ends in a vowel, making it an open syllable with a long 'a' sound.
* Correct choice:
pa/per
2.
Robot: The first syllable is "ro". It ends in a vowel, making it an open syllable with a long 'o' sound.
* Correct choice:
ro/bot
3.
Fever: The first syllable is "fe". It ends in a vowel, making it an open syllable with a long 'e' sound.
* Correct choice:
fe/ver
