Open syllables — identify and understand
Open syllables: progressive explanation, topic-specific examples, guided exercises and a corrected assessment.
1. Objective
By the end, you will identify and explain “Open syllables” in new examples.
2. Discover
Read slowly: moto, café, vélo, radio. Which sound or spelling feature recurs?
3. Understand
The focus is syllabe ouverte. Read the whole word, then notice spelling and sound: in French, the same letter is not always pronounced the same way in every context.
Do not pronounce French letter by letter: pay attention to letter groups and whole words.
4. Guided practice
5. Independent practice
6. Write / speak
Create two personal examples with “Open syllables”: one close to the model and one from your own day.
7. Check your learning
8. Remember
Key point: syllabe ouverte. Listen, read, then copy the whole word so sound and spelling are learned together.
9. Now I can…
- I can recognise “Open syllables” in a new example.
- I can justify my choice and create an example.
