What the Teacher Needs to Know about Feature I: Complex Consonant Patterns

(Description – pp. 135 - 138, Word Lists – pp. 218-220, 202-203)

Complex consonant patterns include: • triple-letter blends • spelling variations of final /k/, /ch/ and /j/ • hard and soft c and g • silent consonants The different aspects of this feature do not need to be taught sequentially. They should be chosen and taught to address the needs of your students. Triple-Letter Blends There are two kinds of triple-letter blends: 1. those in which each consonant sound is heard – str, scr 2. those in which there is a blending of a digraph and a consonant – thr, shr Final /k/ Sound Spellings for the final /k/ sound are often confused by the speller working at this stage: • In one-syllable words, the ck spelling is used with short vowel words except when the

final /k/ sound is preceded by another consonant (milk, bank, perk) when the ending is just k.

• Most long vowel words end with ke; however, long e words often end with just k. • Words with abstract vowels (shook, stalk) end in just k. • Start sorting by vowel sound, then subdivide the sound columns by pattern. • Once they realize when each ending should be used, students can sort by sound and

pattern simultaneously. Final tch and dge • Most short vowel words that end with /ch/ are spelled with tch; exceptions are much,

such, and which • Long vowels, abstract vowels, and consonants l, n, and r signal the use of ch • Final dge and ge follow the same principles • Start sorting by vowel sound, then move onto the influence of a consonant preceding

the final /ch/ Hard and Soft c and g • Soft sounds of c and g occur when they are followed by e, i, or y • Hard sounds result when a, o, or u follow the consonants • Exceptions: get, give • This is a critical concept not only for the Within Word stage but also later stages. It is

helpful in both spelling and reading.

Silent Consonants Silent letters can be addressed as a separate issue or they may be included in the appropriate vowel pattern sorts. The key is that students understand they need to be particularly attentive to the spelling of the words with the silent letters. Many of these words have homophones that will also be addressed – knead, write.
