spelled with a single vowel letter ending in one or more
consonants. Vowel- Consonant-e- A syllable with a long vowel,
spelled with one vowel + one consonant + silent e. Open- A syllable
that ends with a long vowel sound, spelled with a single vowel
letter. Vowel Team- Syllable with long or short vowel spellings
that use two to four letters to spell the vowel. Includes
diphthongs oi and oy. Vowel-r- A syllable with er, ir, or, ar, or
ur. Vowel pronunciation often changes before r. Consonant le- An
unaccented final syllable that contains a consonant before /l/,
followed by a silent e. Odd and Schwa syllables- Usually final,
