Decoding Closed Syllables: Short Vowel Sounds

In this video, the teacher explains how to decode words with more than one syllable by focusing on closed syllables. They emphasize that when a vowel is followed by a consonant, it typically makes a short vowel sound. The teacher provides examples and guides the viewer through the process of identifying vowels, checking for consonant followings, and reading the syllables with the appropriate vowel sound. This lesson helps learners avoid common mistakes and improve their decoding skills.
