Magic E
Read and spell vowel–consonant–e words: cake, bike, rope, cube.
Warm-up, learn, try it together, practice, then a quick check. About 15 minutes.
What children learn in Level 3
- Meet the magic e! It sits at the end of a word and doesn't make a sound.
- But it has a superpower: it reaches over one letter and makes the vowel say its name. Kit becomes kite!
- Cub becomes cube. Not becomes note. Hop becomes hope.
- Your turn! Spell cake. Don't forget the magic e!
- When you see a vowel, one consonant, and an e at the end, try the long vowel sound first.
