Syllables

Consonant-le syllables

Words like table, little, purple and candle end in a consonant plus le. That ending is its own syllable, and it takes the consonant before it, which is why the split is ta-ble rather than tab-le.

This is usually the last of the six syllable types taught, and it unlocks a large set of common words that otherwise look irregular.
