- The rule for V/V (vowel-vowel) words, also called "Lion Words," is: If two vowels are next to each other and they do not form a vowel team or digraph, you divide the word between the two vowels.
- This syllable division rule helps in reading longer words by breaking them into smaller, more manageable parts.
- For example, in the word "lion," you divide it as "li-on" because 'i' and 'o' are separate vowels that don't form a team.
- Similarly, "poet" is divided as "po-et" and "fluent" as "flu-ent."
- Applying this rule consistently allows readers to decode unfamiliar multisyllabic words correctly.
