Spell consonant-l-e words

key notes:

😄Some words end with a consonant, an l, and an e. These words are called consonant–l-e words, and they all end with a similar sound.

😄To read or spell a word ending in consonant-l-e, it can help to break the word into syllables. The consonant-l-e makes its own syllable.

😄In the word table, the first syllable ends with a vowel, so it is an open syllable. If a syllable is open, it usually has a long vowel sound. The second syllable is a consonant-l-e syllable.

😄In the word fiddle, the first syllable ends with a consonant, so it is a closed syllable. If a syllable is closed, it usually has a short vowel sound. The second syllable is a consonant-l-e syllable.
