More Information
VC/CV stands for vowel-consonant-consonant-vowel. This pattern is applied in dividing words where two consonants stay together between the syllables, such as in the word 'distant' divided as 'dis-tant'.
Tips
A common mistake is overlooking the consonants that stay together in the VC/CV pattern. Ensure both consonants are pronounced distinctly in the separate syllables.
