What is a syllable?
A syllable is a unit pronounced in a single utterance and generally consists of vowels
and consonants.
What is the purpose of recognizing syllables?
Well, if you have difficulty reading a text, sentences, words, recognizing syllables
allows you to identify the smallest unit and therefore subsequently, to be able to read a
word, a sentence, a text.
Look at the different combinations.
A consonant plus a vowel, such as b plus a.
This gives the syllable ba ba .
A vowel, plus a consonant, such as i plus l.
This gives us Il Il.
A vowel, plus a consonant, plus a vowel, like for
example a plus l, plus i.
This gives us Ali Ali.
Also note that a single vowel can give us a syllable, such as the
letter a a.
This is a syllable too.
