What letters are syllables?
A syllable is the sound of a vowel (A, E, I, O, U) that is created when pronouncing the letters A, E, I, O, U, or Y. The letter “Y” is a vowel only if it creates an A, E, I, O, or U sound. The number of times that you hear the sound of a vowel is the number of syllables in a word.
