What students need to know

Words that end in a consonant plus le, el, or al share one final sound: ta-ble, cam-el, med-al. The ending is its own last syllable.

This skill runs from 2nd grade through 4th grade. Pick a grade above for level-matched sentences, teaching notes, and worksheets.

Consonant-le endings (-le, -el, -al) across the grades

2nd grade

Second graders sort the consonant-le family: words ending -le (table, apple), -el (camel, towel), and -al (metal, pedal). The ending always forms the word's final syllable.

3rd grade

Third graders sort the three spellings quickly and split the words correctly (lit-tle, tun-nel, sig-nal), using the ending as a reliable final chunk in longer words.

4th grade

Fourth graders spell across all three families and know the odds: -le rules, -el and -al are learned clubs, and a handful of each covers most real writing.
