What is a VCCV Pattern?
The VCCV pattern helps us divide words into syllables. It stands for Vowel-Consonant-Consonant-Vowel. When you see two consonants between two vowels, you usually split the word between the two consonants.
Example: rab-bit (ra-bbit is incorrect)
Circle the VCCV words in each sentence.
1. The rab ate a carrot.
2. My sis loves to read books.
3. We saw a mon at the zoo.
4. The bas is full of fruit.
5. I like to eat pum pie.
Draw a line to match the first syllable with the second syllable to make a VCCV word.
1. tur
a. ket
2. bas
b. ter
3. sis
c. nip
4. tun
d. nel
Divide each word into syllables by drawing a line between the consonants. Then write the word with the syllables separated.
1. summer
2. mitten
3. happen
4. dinner
Circle the correct way to divide the VCCV word.
1. Which word is divided correctly?
ro-bot
rob-ot

rob-ot
2. Which word has a VCCV pattern?
table
apple
