Ten Rules of Syllabication

(Dividing words into syllables)

1. A one-syllable word is never divided. ( boat,  good,smell )

2.   Divide a compound word between the words that make the compound word.(pan-cake, sun-set, air-plane )

3. When a word has a suffix, divide the word between the root word and the suffix.  ( melt-ed,soft-ness, sew-ing)

4. When a word has a prefix, divide the word between the prefix and the root word.(ex-pect,  dis-turb,mis-lead)

5.  When two or more consonants come between two vowels in a word, the word is usually divided between the first two consonants.  vc/cv    (hun-gry, bet-ter,suf-fer)

6. When a single consonant comes between two vowels in a word, the word is usually divided after the consonant if the first vowel is short. vc/v  (clev-er, lem-on, rob-in )

7. When a single consonant comes between two vowels in a word, the word is usually divided before the consonant if the first vowel is long. v/cv (mu-sic, po-lite, pa-per)

8. When a word ends in le preceded by a consonant, divide the word before that consonant.  When a word ends in ckle, divide between the k and the le. (tur-tle, ca-ble, or pick-le, speck-le)

9. When a vowel is sounded alone in a word, it forms a syllable in itself. (a-live,mon-u-ment,  u-ni-form)

10. When two vowels come together in a word and are sounded separately, divide the word between the two vowels. (ra-di-o, di-et, cru-el)
