✅ Solve It! Series – VCe, V+r, C+le Syllables for Older Struggling Readers
Help your older students tackle longer, multisyllabic words with confidence by teaching them to recognize and decode syllable types!
This 33-page resource is the third in the Solve It! Series and focuses on VCe, vowel + r (r-controlled), and final stable (C+le) syllables. Designed especially for upper elementary and middle school students, this set includes everything you need to explicitly teach and practice these tricky patterns—with low-prep materials and ready-to-use manipulatives.
