  first try dividing it after the consonant and
  pronouncing the syllable with a short vowel

A young Jewish boy stared in the window.

• VCCV
• This word has the VCCV pattern. I know most words
  with this pattern divide between the two

  closed, so the vowel has a short sound WIHN-doh.
  That sounds right, and it makes sense.
