Consonant-LE Exception

The consonant-le exception involves the letter combination –stle. When a word ends in –stle, the t and e are silent, l is the only letter that makes a sound. The s is part of the syllable before.

Examples:castle------castle

whistle------whistle

Schwa or Consonant-le?

When words end in an /l/ it is hard to tell if it is a consonant-le or schwa spelling.

If it is a schwa, it might be spelled el or al -----Ex. bagel

If it is consonant-le it will be spelling le-----Ex. bugle
