Long Vowel Silent-e (CVCe Pattern) — Answer Key
Part A: Trace the Words
Trace each CVCe word by following the dotted lines.
1. gate
2. time
3. rose
4. cute
5. name
6. side
Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing letter or word on the line.
1. Tub + e = tube.
When you add silent e to tub, the u says its name and the word becomes tube.
2. Not + e = note.
When you add silent e to not, the o says its name and the word becomes note.
3. The silent e at the end of a word makes the vowel long.
A silent e at the end of a CVCe word makes the middle vowel say its long sound.
4. Rid + e = ride.
When you add silent e to rid, the i says its name and the word becomes ride.
Part C: True or False
Read each sentence. Circle True or False.
1. The word 'rose' has a silent e at the end.
True False
This is true because rose ends with a silent e that makes the o say its long sound.
2. Adding an e to 'cut' makes the word 'cute'.
True False
This is true because adding silent e to cut changes the short u to a long u, making cute.
3. The words 'tap' and 'tape' have the same vowel sound.
True False
This is false because tap has a short a sound, but tape has a long a sound because of the silent e.
