Exploring Open and Closed Syllables

Miss Buchanan teaches about open and closed syllables, focusing on identifying vowels and sorting words based on syllable types. Open syllables end with a vowel and have a long vowel sound, while closed syllables end with a consonant and have a short vowel sound.
