What is the VC/CV Pattern?

The VC/CV pattern is when a word has a vowel, then two consonants, then another vowel. We usually split the word between the two consonants. For example, 'rab/bit' or 'den/tist'.

Draw a line to divide each word into two syllables. The first one is done for you.

1. rab/bit

2. den tist

3. sis ter

4. bas ket

5. pup py
