Word Pronunciation: Syllable Stress: Stressed syllables are spoken with greater emphasis and pitch, while unstressed syllables are spoken more quickly and with reduced emphasis.  Vowel Sounds: Understanding the vowels' pronunciation in each syllable is crucial for proper word enunciation. Diphthongs and Triphthongs are combinations of two vowel sounds within the same syllable, while triphthongs involve three vowel sounds in a single syllable.  Word Spelling: Division of Words: Understanding syllables helps divide words when written at the end of lines or within paragraphs.  Consonant Doubling: In words with one short vowel followed by a single consonant, the consonant is often doubled when adding a suffix that starts with a vowel.
