Show Answer Key & Explanations Step-by-step solution for: NO PREP Three Syllable Words Worksheets

Problem Description:


The task is to match the first syllable of each word with its second and third syllables. The words are provided in a list on the left, and their syllables are scattered on the right. The goal is to correctly pair the syllables to form complete words.

Words Provided:


1. sun
2. en
3. po
4. man
5. drag
6. jel
7. bas
8. as

Syllables Provided:


- First syllables: ta, a, ly, flow, vel, on, tro, ket
- Second syllables: tee, er, ball, fly, naut, ope, to, fish

Solution Approach:


1. Identify the structure of each word: Determine how many syllables each word has and what those syllables are.
2. Match the first syllable: Find the correct first syllable for each word from the given options.
3. Match the second syllable: Find the correct second syllable for each word from the given options.
4. Verify the complete word: Ensure that the combined syllables form a valid word.

Step-by-Step Solution:



#### 1. sun
- First syllable: "su"
- Second syllable: "n"
- Matching: "su" + "n" = "sun"
- Correct pairing: "su" (not explicitly listed, but implied) → "n"

#### 2. en
- First syllable: "en"
- Second syllable: "er"
- Matching: "en" + "er" = "ener"
- Correct pairing: "en" → "er"

#### 3. po
- First syllable: "po"
- Second syllable: "ly"
- Matching: "po" + "ly" = "poly"
- Correct pairing: "po" → "ly"

#### 4. man
- First syllable: "ma"
- Second syllable: "n"
- Matching: "ma" + "n" = "man"
- Correct pairing: "ma" (not explicitly listed, but implied) → "n"

#### 5. drag
- First syllable: "dra"
- Second syllable: "g"
- Matching: "dra" + "g" = "drag"
- Correct pairing: "dra" (not explicitly listed, but implied) → "g"

#### 6. jel
- First syllable: "je"
- Second syllable: "ly"
- Matching: "je" + "ly" = "jelly"
- Correct pairing: "je" → "ly"

#### 7. bas
- First syllable: "ba"
- Second syllable: "s"
- Matching: "ba" + "s" = "bas"
- Correct pairing: "ba" (not explicitly listed, but implied) → "s"

#### 8. as
- First syllable: "a"
- Second syllable: "s"
- Matching: "a" + "s" = "as"
- Correct pairing: "a" → "s"

Final Answer:


The completed matches are as follows:

1. sun: Not explicitly matched (implied)
2. en: "en" → "er"
3. po: "po" → "ly"
4. man: Not explicitly matched (implied)
5. drag: Not explicitly matched (implied)
6. jel: "je" → "ly"
7. bas: Not explicitly matched (implied)
8. as: "a" → "s"

Since some words do not have explicit syllable pairs in the given options, the focus is on the ones that can be matched directly.

Final Answer Boxed:
\[
\boxed{
\text{en} \rightarrow \text{er}, \text{po} \rightarrow \text{ly}, \text{jel} \rightarrow \text{ly}, \text{as} \rightarrow \text{s}
}
\]
