1. Adding a silent e at the end makes the vowel say its name.
Adding a silent e at the end of a word makes the vowel say its long sound.
2. Cap + e = cape.
When you add silent e to cap, the a says its name and the word becomes cape.
3. Bit + e = bite.
When you add silent e to bit, the i says its name and the word becomes bite.
4. Hop + e = hope.
When you add silent e to hop, the o says its name and the word becomes hope.
Part C: True or False
Read each sentence. Circle True or False.
1. In 'cake', the e at the end is silent.
True False
This is true because in cake the e at the end makes no sound but helps the a say its name.
2. The word 'pin' and 'pine' sound the same.
True False
This is false because pin has a short i sound, but pine has a long i sound because of the silent e.
3. The CVCe pattern has a silent e at the end.
True False
This is true because CVCe stands for consonant-vowel-consonant-e, and the e is silent.
