This PDF resource is a poster and can be a graphic organizer for students to keep at their desk, or in a folder to bring back and forth to school . The seven syllable types are listed and each includes a simple clip art for quick retrieval when reading or completing reading work.
the seven (7) syllable types include:

1. Closed (stop)
2. Open (we)
3. Bossry -R (BR) (shirt)
4. VCe (slide)
5. Vowel Team (VT) (beach)
6. Diphthong (DT) (boy)
7. Consonant-le (c-le) (sizzle)

This poster is based on the principles of Orton Gillingham including the use of one's senses to create a multisensory experience. For the purposes of this poster/graphic organizer, students can see the words, pictures and abbreviations for each syllable types. Teachers have different methods to explain vowel teams and vowel diphthongs. There are teachers who prefer to teach these two syllables as one under the category of Vowel Team. Others prefer to separate the two syllable types into Vowel teams - where the first long sound is heard though there are two vowels next to each other. Vowel Diphthongs, also have two vowels next to each other, but the two vowels combine to make their own unique sound.
The point is, explain to students there are two viewpoints, and share the way you present.

I hope you find this a great resource and tool. Many parents, teachers and students have shared that they like having a copy at their desks. it helps a student be a bit more independent, and not require him/her to wait for help.
