Welcome to Consonant-l-e Words! – Discover consonant-l-e words – Example of a word ending in -le? – Like ‘table’ or ‘little’ – Understanding improves reading – Recognize patterns in words – Spelling skills get better too – Practice makes perfect! | This slide introduces the concept of consonant-l-e words to second graders, aiming to enhance their reading and spelling skills. Start by explaining what consonant-l-e words are: words that end with a consonant followed by the letters ‘l’ and ‘e’. Ask the class for examples to engage them and assess their prior knowledge.

Understanding Consonant-l-e Words – What are Consonant-l-e words? – Words ending with a consonant, ‘l’, then ‘e’ – ‘e’ at the end is silent – ‘l’ sound is heard at the end – Examples: ‘table’, ‘apple’ – ‘little’, ‘candle’, ‘purple’ | This slide introduces the concept of Consonant-l-e words to second graders. It’s important to emphasize the structure of these words, which typically end in a consonant followed by an ‘l’ and a silent ‘e’. The silent ‘e’ at the end of the word is a key feature, and it’s crucial for students to recognize that it doesn’t affect the pronunciation of the word. Instead, the ‘l’ sound is pronounced at the end. Provide examples like ‘table’, ‘apple’, and ‘little’ and encourage students to practice by identifying more Consonant-l-e words in their reading or environment. You can also have them practice spelling these words to reinforce the concept.
