Doubling Your Reading Fluency

So many words end with double consonants! How will your child know which of them needs to be spelled with a double sound or a single letter? Let us explain how you can make this work.

To start with, double consonant words have a harder sound, like off, hell, and miss. The FLOSS rule typically sums up double consonant letters – the letters ‘f,’ ‘l,’ and ‘s’ are the words most commonly ending in doubles. The letter ‘z’ also qualifies but is outside the FLOSS acronym.

On most occasions, the double consonant follows the short letter sound – like mess, till, or even loss. That’s a significant clue that can help understand when the double consonant is used. Help your kindergartener understand long and short vowel sounds through interactive games to help them understand double consonants.

Now that they know the vowel sounds, it’s time to help them appreciate how the double consonant works. They only need to sound the letter out once, but it needs to be an accentuated sound. Help them repeat the sound several times over. The ‘zz’ sound is often something the children enjoy - buzzing around like bees. Make it fun by creating actions and movements for each consonant sound. You can also get them to play games on SplashLearn that will make them choose the right double consonant for the sound shown.

Double the Pleasure with Consonant Sounds

Your kids may not be able to read or spell double consonant words at this stage, but you can certainly introduce them to the different sounds and help them distinguish one from the other. There’s plenty of time to build reading and sight words later, but familiarizing them with sounds forms a solid foundation. Kids may tend to confuse the ‘s’ and ‘z’ sounds, so give them ample practice, and more importantly, plenty of love and encouragement.

SplashLearn helps kindergarteners find the right consonant sounds that fit into simple words and offers a fun learning experience online. Repeated practice and multiple associations using different words can help your little learners master double consonant sounds and enjoy the learning experience thoroughly.
