This hard worksheet asks first graders to reason about the silent-e rule, not just spot it. Four multiple-choice questions cover picking the sentence that uses a CVCe word (I rode my bike home), naming the long u sound in flute, finding which word becomes a new word when the silent e is removed (cute to cut), and choosing the group with all CVCe words (cake, bike, note).

Five fill-in-the-blank items then have students remove the silent e from tape and cape to get tap and cap, identify the long o in broke, and turn Sam and pal into the CVCe words same and pale.
