Consonant-LE Syllables

A consonant-le syllable is always found at the end of a word. It is also known as a ā€˜stable final syllable’. This syllable pattern contains a consonant followed by the letters ā€˜le’, as in ā€˜table’ or ’apple’.

This syllable type doesn’t have a strong vowel sound, and the consonant and ā€˜le’ together form the final syllable.

If combined with an open syllable (e.g. table, title), there is no doubled consonant.

If combined with a closed syllable (e.g. puddle, little), there is a double consonant.

Teaching Tips

We need to make sure that students know that JUST because there’s an ā€˜le’ at the end of a word, doesn’t make it a final stable syllable.

  • For example, words like female, profile, pinhole are not consonant + le words. They have a vowel before the ā€˜le’.
  • There must be a consonant before the ā€˜le’.

There are 2 ways to teach students to work with consonant + le words - pick one way to teach it and be consistent:

  1. When students see an ā€˜le’ at the end of a word and a consonant before it – tell them that the ā€˜le’ likes to snatch the consonant and pull it to the second syllable.
  2. Once students have located the ā€˜le’ and seen a consonant before it, they can then count ( starting with the e):  1-2-3 divide.

Example Word: puzzle

  • When students have located the ā€˜le’ and seen a consonant before it, they’re going to count, starting with the e: 1-2-3 divide.
  • Once the word has been divided, it’s time to read each syllable.
  • First syllable – g closes in the u, the u makes it’s short sound.
  • Second syllable, we have a consonant + le, so in this syllable, the consonant will make its sound, followed by an unaccented schwa and l sound.
