Silent-e (Also called “Magic–e”)
In some words of more than one syllable, the long /a/ sound is only the letter “a.”
For example, apron, basic, fatal. In other words, you need to add another letter.
In the section called “Double Vowels,” you found that ai, ay, ei, ey, and eigh can
also make the long /a/ sound. The same situation occurs with the long /e/ (ee,
ea), the long /i/ (ie, igh), the long /o/ (oa, ow, oe), and the long /u/ (ue, ew).
In this new rule, there is another way to create a long vowel sound. (VCe)
The silent-e makes the vowel say its name.
Read the following words, all of which contain the long vowel sound. Circle the
ones that follow the Silent-e rule.
day vein seed trade mail may chain sleigh freight flame tube wait plate remain relay prey Chinese remain obtain afraid bone dune lake lady cube sail steel knight plane way weight wide strain stay acorn data globe flame train aid Friday same tray play mile

r-controlled syllables (also called “Bossy r”)
Sometimes “r” changes the way a vowel sounds. Here are some examples:
ar er ir or ur
(far) (her) (sir) (for) (fur)

Answer Key for page 33
Silent-e (Also called “Magic–e”)
In some words of more than one syllable, the long /a/ sound is only the letter “a.”
For example, apron, basic, fatal. In other words, you need to add another letter.
In the section called “Double Vowels,” you found that ai, ay, ei, ey, and eigh can
also make the long /a/ sound. The same situation occurs with the long /e/ (ee,
ea), the long /i/ (ie, igh), the long /o/ (oa, ow, oe), and the long /u/ (ue, ew).
In this new rule, there is another way to create a long vowel sound. (VCe)
The silent-e makes the vowel say its name.
Read the following words, all of which contain the long vowel sound. Circle the
ones that follow the Silent-e rule.
day vein seed trade mail may chain sleigh freight flame tube wait plate remain relay prey Chinese remain obtain afraid bone dune lake lady cube sail steel knight plane way weight wide strain stay acorn data globe flame train aid Friday same tray play mile
