Guided Notes
3 key concepts
- 1
When the letter e is at the end of some words, it is called silent e because it can't be heard.
- 2
Silent e jumps one consonant back to the vowel and tells it to say the long vowel sound.
- 3
For example, adding a silent e to the word 'cut' changes the 'u' from a short sound to a long u sound, making the word cute.
