Final Stable syllable

    You did it!  You made it to the last of the 6 syllable types.  The final stable syllable is just that.  A syllable that is often at the end of a multisyllabic word that makes a unique sound.  Notice that the definition does not say a vowel sound.  That is because final stable syllables include more than just vowels or vowels sounds.  Final stable syllables include ble, cle, dle, fle, gle, kle, ple, tle, and zle.  These are also known as consonant-le.  As you know the e is silent.  The reason it exists in this syllable type is because every syllable must include a vowel.  In the English language we often use e to fill this role.
     There are more than just the consonant-le words within this syllable type.  Other examples include tion (caution), sion (vision), and ture (nature). Because this syllable type could be confused for an open, vowel team, or magic e syllable, it is important to directly teach the examples of this syllable type and tell the students that if you see the certain series of letter together, they should be treated as a final stable syllable.
     The gesture I use to provide kinesthetic feedback about this syllable is to make a box of sorts with my two hands.  It is the very last syllable type I teach and some of my students think it is the easiest because you can pretty much count on the fact that these syllable will be pronounced the same way each time you see them.
