Syllable rules
1Every syllable has one vowel sound (a, e, i, o, u).
2Split between two consonants: but·ter, hap·py.
3One consonant between vowels: if the first vowel is long it joins the next syllable (o·pen, ti·ger); if it's short it stays (lem·on, cab·in).
4Prefixes and suffixes often form their own syllable: re·play, help·ful.
5Compound words split between their two words: sun·shine.
6A consonant before -le takes it: ta·ble, ap·ple, lit·tle.
