Long U Silent Ethird Grade James Tes
Magic E Rule: The magic E rule states when the letter “e” sits at the end of the word, it is usually silent and the “magical” E tells the first vowel or the preceding vowel to say its name or long sound. The magic e vowels are as follows: a_e, i_e, o_e and u_e. The magic e is commonly referred to as the final or silent e.
| Long A (a_e) | Long I (i_e) | Long O (o_e) | Long U (u_e) |
The key to mastering the silent e (sometimes called “magic e”) words is a lot of hands-on learning. So please don’t start with these worksheets! I used them as an assessment tool after spending over a week doing a variety of activities with my kindergartner to help him master a-e words. Young learners practice reading and writing words that make the long e sound in this lesson plan I See Long E! Designed with first graders in mind, this lesson teaches children to recognize the various letter combinations that lend themselves to the long e sound: -ee, -ea, and -y. To encourage critical reading, teachers should ask students questions about the text before, during, and after they read. This method is useful for most subjects, from reading to social studies, and is an excellent way to structure literature homework.
