The Magic of Silent E!

It’s time for the magic of SILENT E! 🪄

This is absolutely one of my favorite sound/spelling patterns to teach because it unlocks so many more words that creates so much excitement for the students!

(note: this isnt the only job of “e”, but it sure is fun)

WARM UPS FOR SILENT E

When introducing a new phonics patterns, I usually begin with a song. I have an archive of songs I use for different phonics patterns (click the Google Drive link below). 

BLENDING

Blending is KEY to practicing that magic e. This is where I will usually cut out little “e”s on stick and practice making CVC words into CVCe words! The kids absolutely LOVE this part and it really stick in their brains.
