Open and Closed Syllables Worksheets in Spanish

The set varies the response while maintaining one phonological contrast. Learners sort Spanish words into open- and closed-syllable groups, find examples inside lists, label individual words, and connect entries with the appropriate category. Later pages extend the same distinction into additional recognition and construction work. Accent marks and multisyllabic examples require attention to the actual syllable boundary rather than the final written letter alone.
