Letter Patterns

This list contains several words with the ead and eak letter patterns. Here are some more words with these letter patterns: 


	bread			spread			thread

	weak			sneak			peak
Another letter pattern which occurs a few times in this unit is the ose letter pattern. 

	sucrose			glucose			fructose
The -ose letter pattern at the end of these words indicate that these are all names for sugars.

VVC Pattern

A word which contains two vowels followed by a consonant fits the VVC pattern. Here are a few examples from this unit: 


	bread			spread			thread

	weak			sneak			peak

	skiing			recreation		board
In the strictest sense, the VVC applies only to syllables which contain as the last three letters a vowel, followed by another vowel, followed by a consonant (and nothing else). In this unit we applied this pattern to any word which contained two vowels in a row followed by a consonant regardless of syllables and other ending consonants.
