The entity that occurs whenever a word ends with a vowel as the last alphabet and ends up becoming a long word with the same vowel sound. The sound of an open syllable always becomes longer than others and elongates the last alphabet. The sound of a closed syllable always becomes shorter than others and therefore helps to figure out nature. Thanks for the great program and helpful blog! Or are these words supposed to be pronounced in such a way that the middle consonant is actually closing in the first short vowel?
Thanks for any tips you can give! Students do need to be about to read words like rabbit and relax easily first lessons 6 and 10 , but once they have a handle on them, they are ready to approach words like habit and visit.
So for finish, first they will try fi-nish. This makes the first syllable open and the vowel long. So they then try moving the N to the first syllable, fin-ish. That makes both syllables closed and the vowels short and the word recognizable. Thank you for your reply! I should have been clearer. My son is very fluent in reading, probably at a fourth grade level or so, so he can read all these words without a problem, but when it comes to spelling he has a hard time.
At this point in All About Spelling , he has not learned to spell words like rabbit that double a consonant between. At this point, if he hears one consonant sound, he should use one consonant.
In this way, he will become very familiar with the spelling of words like habit, cabin, visit, finish, and others. Sadly, there is no rule or sound to tell us when not to double the consonants in words with short vowels. When there are no rules that are easy for students to apply, All About Spelling uses other strategies. In this case, AAS has students become very familiar with the words that do not have doubled consonants by waiting to introduce the idea of doubled consonants until an entire level later.
I hope this helps some. Just focus on the single consonant words for now and help him to fully master them. In Latin words, a single vowel is usually short, as in words like metal, cabin, visible, and so on. As your son learns longer and more difficult words, you run across more Latin words, and thus see more exceptions.
This is where it gets tricky. Words with two or three syllables could be either native English or of Latin origin and will follow the doubling the consonant rule only if they have a native English suffix or if the words are not of Latin origin.
Words of Latin origin will follow the Latin style. However, words of four or more syllables are almost always of Latin origin, so we rarely see doubled letters in very long words. My daughter is loving it and learning so much! Great to hear, Emily! We just went over this today! I just ordered level 2 this morning! I love how this program has helped my son so much.

In closed syllable the vowel is followed up by the consonant always. That is why the open syllables produce long sounds and close syllables produce short sounds.
Open Syllable is syllable consisting of only one vowel and that too coming in the end of word. As we know that vowel produce open and long sounds, same happens in the case. Although in some cases, vowels on their own are also considered as open syllables as they produce a long and prominent sound of their own.
Closed Syllable is the syllable that also consists of one vowel, though that vowel is always bounded up with the consonant in end of the word.
