Syllable Types Chart

One of the most powerful tools in structured literacy is teaching a child to identify the type of syllable they are reading before they try to decode it. This chart gives learners a clear, visual reference for all six syllable types used in the Orton-Gillingham approach.

Each syllable type is clearly labeled, defined, and accompanied by examples. This chart is designed to be used daily during reading and spelling practice, becoming a reliable reference your child reaches for automatically.

The six syllable types covered:

Closed, Open, Vowel-Consonant-e, Vowel Team, R-Controlled, and Consonant-le. Each type includes a clear definition and example words.

Who this is for:

Parents working through syllable division with their child at home.

Tutors using a structured literacy or Orton-Gillingham approach.

Students who need a reliable reference during independent reading and spelling practice.
