Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the correct answer on each line.
1. I blow out candles on my birthday cake.
Cake has silent e, which makes the a say its long name /ay/.
2. I ring the big brass bell to call the dog.
Ring has short i; ng is a digraph at the end, no magic e.
3. The frog can hop very high in the pond.
Hop is a CVC word with a short o; if we added e, it would become hope.
4. I hope you feel much better very soon.
Hope has silent e, which changes short o in hop to the long o sound.
5. A baby bear is called a little cub.
Cub is a CVC word; with magic e added it would become cube, a different word.
