Consonant -le

Consonant -le is the last syllable type learned about in the sequence followed by the Phonics Pow Toolkit. Learning the different syllable types helps makes sense of the different vowel sounds in the English language. We’ve learned about: Silent e, Bossy R, Diphthongs, Vowel Teams, and Open & Closed Syllables. Now it’s time for a final stable syllable ending, consonant -le.

Consonant -le is an unaccented final syllable that contains a consonant and -le. The e at the end is silent, and creates a new sound: “ul”

The middle consonant doubles when it comes right after a short vowel. Try a rabbit or turtle online word sort. Practice the difference with the cattle or turtle online word sort.
