have your child write the open syllable words from above on the lines below and mark them up.
pry

Explanation:

An open syllable ends with a single vowel that says its long sound (no closing consonant after it). First, identify all open syllable words from the list, then mark them (split between the vowel and any following r/y if applicable, or note the single vowel word).

1. pry: Open syllable (ends with long y, marked as pr/y)
2. hi: Open syllable (ends with long i, marked as h/i)
3. she: Open syllable (ends with long e, marked as sh/e)
4. be: Open syllable (ends with long e, marked as b/e)
5. so: Open syllable (ends with long o, marked as s/o)
6. why: Open syllable (ends with long y, marked as wh/y)
7. cry: Open syllable (ends with long y, marked as cr/y)
8. I: Open syllable (single long vowel, marked as I)
9. no: Open syllable (ends with long o, marked as n/o)

Words to cross out: kept, huff, spill, fly, lamp, fold (these are closed syllables or vowel-consonant-y closed syllables)
