Open and Closed Syllables Posters | Phonics Anchor Charts (Phonics / Reading Vowels)

Struggling to help your students learn about open and closed syllables? Cut out the abstract jargon and bring phonics mechanics to life with The Syllable Jailor!
Perfect for Reception, EYFS, Key Stage 1 (KS1), and reading intervention or remediation groups, this poster set gives early decoders a concrete physical anchor to make abstract literacy rules stick.

Included are:

1. The Closed Syllable Poster: Shows the jailor locking the cell door as the consonant stands at the end. The vowel character makes its short, quiet sound (e.g., met says “ehh!”).
2. The Open Syllable Poster: Shows the Syllable Jailor looking on as the vowel character runs completely free with no consonants blocking the yard. The vowel character proudly shouts its own name (e.g., me says “eee!”).
3. Ink-saving blackline versions.
