Words with the VCV Pattern
If a word has one consonant between two vowels, divide the word before or after the consonant. The V/CV division is the most common. If the pattern is V/CV the vowel will most always say its long sound. If the pattern is VC/V the vowel will say its short sound. Try it both ways and determine which pronunciation sounds best.
V/CV…………………mu-sic VC/V…………………cam-el |
