This question tests 2nd grade ability to decode two-syllable words with long vowels (CCSS.RF.2.3.c). Two-syllable words have two parts (or two beats) when you say them. A syllable is a word part with one vowel sound. The word table has two syllables: ta and ble. You can clap it out: ta-ble (two claps). A long vowel says its name. In table, the a in 'ta' says its name (long a sound). This happens because the syllable ends with a vowel (open syllable). Choice B is correct because ta-ble has exactly two syllables (ta-ble) and contains a long a sound in the first syllable. You can hear a saying its name. Choice C is incorrect because bee has only one syllable, even though it has a long e sound. This is a common error where students miscounted syllables. To help students: Teach students to clap or tap out syllables (one clap per vowel sound heard). Use visual syllable division (hyphens or dots). Teach common patterns: open syllables (ti-ger, pa-per), VCe syllables (in-side), and vowel teams (rain-bow). Practice with familiar two-syllable words first (baby, tiger, paper, music, open). Use color coding—one color for first syllable, another for second. Watch for: students treating compound words as different from two-syllable words, confusing syllable count with letter count, missing long vowels in first syllable, breaking words incorrectly (tig-er instead of ti-ger).
