Silent e (magic e) worksheets
Each print is a different sheet with its own answer key. You don't need to sign up.
Silent e says nothing itself, but it reaches back one letter and makes the vowel say its name: cap becomes cape, kit becomes kite.
Two grades, one set of words: both print from the same 40. Print one here, or open a grade for examples and teaching notes.

Each print is a different sheet with its own answer key. You don't need to sign up.
Silent e (the famous magic e) turns short vowels long: can/cane, kit/kite, hop/hope. First graders sort short-vowel words from their silent e partners and hear the vowel change with their own ears.

2nd grade
Second graders read and sort CVCe words automatically and use the pattern in spelling: adding e to flip a vowel, and noticing when a word needs one. The sheet's minimal pairs make the rule impossible to miss.
