Spring Word Sort: Open and Closed Syllables #1

Boost phonics skills with this engaging spring-themed open- and closed-syllable sorting activity! A closed syllable has one vowel, ends with a consonant, and usually has a short vowel sound, while an open syllable ends with one vowel, and it usually has a long vowel sound. This inviting grammar worksheet ask learners to sort open- and closed-syllable words by coloring them different colors. Students will review the words in the spring bunnies, coloring the words with an open syllable orange, and coloring the words with a closed syllable blue. 

The first in a three-worksheet series, this phonics worksheet is designed to give first- and second-grade learners practice distinguishing between open and closed syllable types. Developing their knowledge of syllable types will help students improve both their spelling skills and reading fluency.
