VCV Pattern

The VCV letter pattern is a very common letter pattern. As you know, VCV stands for vowel-consonant-vowel. Several words from this unit contain the VCV pattern (underlined): 


	flake		bake 		mistake			

	shaker		quake		spore

	rhyzome		locomotive	engine
Here are some more words which contain the VCV letter pattern: 

	trace		time		thyme

	tone		date		mile

	space		many		gravy
Many VCV words end with the letter e, but there are some which end with different letters (especially the letter y).
