Explain the differences between open, closed, and magic e syllables. Make sure you tell us what kinds of vowel sounds we can expect with each syllable.
Open syllables end in a vowel, so the vowel can shout it's name, making the long vowel sound. (he or ro-bot)
Closed syllables have consonants to close those vowels off, so we expect short vowel sounds (must).
Magic e syllables have a magic e that shoots magic over one letter to make the vowel men appear (lake).
