Le words Homework (Week commencing 15 January 2018)
We are going to try and learn some words that end in le. The le sounds a bit like ul
Sometimes we double the consonant before the le e.g. little, beetle, paddle, puzzle.
Some of you might want to know why?
We double up the letters after a short vowel sound. See the examples before.
idle and middle
idle is a long vowel sound so it has a single consonant -dle
middle is a short vowel sound so we have a double consonant -ddle.
maple and apple
maple has a long vowel sound so spelt -ple
apple is a short vowel sound so -pple
Both these examples have single vowels but one vowel is long the other short.
Google and goggle
google oo is long so -ggle
goggle o is short so –gle (and in goggle-box and goggle-eyed)
