Final Stable Syllable
Curious about what afinal stable syllableis?
I love when we move on to new lessons with my little girl.
Exploring a new concept and seeing her work hard to learn is fun.
The past few weeks we have worked hard on the final stable syllable.
Im glad you asked.
What is a Final Stable Syllable
A final stable syllablealways comes at the end of a word.
It seems very simple, but there is one concept that we have worked hard on.
When to double the consonant.
When a vowel is closed in by a consonant, then it makes a short sound.
In the final stable syllable, we always put the consonant with the le.
Now we have to look at what is left, and determine if we need to double the letter.
Lets look at some examples.
juggle we divide the word so that the gle makes the last syllable.
Then I listen to the vowel sound in the first syllable.
The u makes the short sound.
If I dont double the g, then I have ju/gle.
Not the word I want.
So we double the g, and now the u will make the short vowel sound.
I also dont need to double letters, when the vowel sound is already closed in.
In can/dle, the n closes in the a, so the d does not need to be doubled.
