Onset-Rime
Syllables are divided into an onset (initial consonant(s)) and a rime (vowel and any following consonants).
Vowel-Consonant Division

Consonant Cluster Division
Consonant clusters are generally kept together in the onset or rime.
Single Vowel Rule
A single vowel often forms its own syllable.
