Children can first try making rhymes by blending a single onset to a variety of words. Any phoneme could become the onset in such a game. You can play Silly Billy, Silly Curly, Silly Dolly, etc. Body-coda blending . You can always stretch the vowel and say it out loud.
Children find it fairly easy to break a syllable on either side of the loud vowel.
Some useful terms have recently been introduced for describing the parts of a syllable. All the phonemes through the vowel form the body of a syllable. Any consonants that come after the vowel form the coda. This is because onsets are often highly distorted during blending. However, there is no distortion of consonants in the coda.
