About this worksheet
Open syllables are the whole focus of Splitting Words: Long Vowels. A rule at the top tells 2nd graders that when the first syllable ends in a vowel, the vowel says its own name. Students read four picture words already split with a slash (ro / bot, ti / ger, pa / per, mu / sic). Then they write spider, pilot, donut and silent and draw the slash themselves. Three short sentences close the page, and students circle the open-syllable words in each. It matches Common Core RF.2.3c, and the answer key shows every split.
