Are you ready to teach your students how to make and read silent e words?

Print these free cards for a great silent e activity!

By printing the word endings and attaching craft sticks, your child has two “magic wands” that can change those short vowel words into something new.  The “ke” wand is for words that end with “ck.”

If storage is an issue for you, you can simply print the cards and punch holes in the pages.  Store them in a 3-ring binder.

    Good Morning! I am a kindergarten teacher looking for fun ways to help my kiddos at home. I was wondering if I have permission to reproduce some of your silent e activities to send home to help parents, help their kiddos? If you would rather I not, I perfectly understand.

    I am teaching my 5 year old that the ‘e’ is bossy and tells the other vowel to ‘Say your name, not your sound!’ It doesn’t always work but in the majority of cases it helps him to work the work out. Love your cards which give his hands something to do while he is reading.
