This easy worksheet keeps the silent-e rule playful for first graders by pairing tracing with simple word-building. Students trace six fresh CVCe words including globe, vine, tape, mule, bone, and life, then complete four fill-in-the-blank items that turn short words like rip, cop, and hat into their silent-e partners ripe, cope, and hate. Three true-or-false questions about vine, drum, and the rip/ripe vowel shift wrap up the page. It teaches first graders that adding a silent e at the end of a CVC word makes the middle vowel say its long name.
