About these printable resources: Some practice in consonant patterns

Understanding consonant patterns is crucial for improving your English spelling skills. Typically, a short vowel sound is followed by two consonants, while a long vowel sound is often followed by just one. This rule helps us identify and pronounce words accurately. For example, in words like better and later, the vowel sound influences the number of consonants that follow.

In this list, you’ll practise with a selection of words that illustrate these consonant patterns. From dinner to rocket, each example will help you recognise how vowels interact with consonants. Take your time to explore the words and you’ll build your confidence in spelling and pronunciation!
