Vowel Consonant Vowel Pattern

                       cane, these, like, rope, mule,
All these words have a silent e at the end. The silent e can make a vowel long if it is only one sound away from the vowel. If it is more than one sound away, this rule will not work.

Look at this word.

The th is a digraph and makes only one sound; the letter e can make a vowel long if it is only one sound away. 

Look at this word.
