This medium worksheet steps first graders into real CVCe sentences where the silent-e word is no longer obvious. Students fill in nine sentences with words like smoke on the grill, rode my bike, stripe, woke, line, slice of pizza, chase, and write a letter to Grandma, listening for the long vowel each time.

A four-pair matching section then connects short CVC words rat, glob, slim, and tun to their CVCe partners rate, globe, slime, and tune, helping children see exactly how a silent e flips a vowel from short to long.
