We created this comprehensive list of 2-syllable words for educators who wish to teach syllabication to students. These are Level 2 words, meaning they contain the following types of long words:
- VC | CV words like “cactus” and “scallop”
- V | CV words like “item” and “silent”
- VC | V words like “camel” and “panel”
These words all include the schwa sound, good for students who are already familiar with short and long vowel sounds. If you are looking for words without the schwa (ə) sound, download our Level 1 word list instead.
