Unit 4~ Two Week Unit
Sound Alike Words- mail, male, mind, mined, find, fined
Trick Words- school, move, animal, because, breakfast, none, something, used
Skill- exception to the vowel-consonant-e syllable, add suffixes to these words
Exception to Vowel-Consonant-E- When the “V” sound is at the end of the word it will
end with an “e” after it. When this happens, the vowel could be short instead of the long
vowel sound. (ive, ave)
EX: give, have, live, olive, captive
Suffixes- when adding a consonant suffix to a word that ends in a silent “e”, simply add
the suffix. If the suffix begins with a vowel, drop the “e” before adding the suffix
Ex: safely, hopeful, confusing, included, giving
