Decodable — Hike, Bike, Swim

Long i e decodable hike bike swim reading universe

Use this decodable text to give students practice reading words with magic 'e' (also known as silent 'e'). In this phonics pattern, there is a vowel, consonant, and final 'e'. The 'e' is silent and the vowel sound is long, like in the word life.

Reading Universe is made possible by generous support from Jim & Donna Barksdale; the Hastings/Quillin Fund, an advised fund of the Silicon Valley Community Foundation (opens in new window); the AFT (opens in new window); the Emily Hall Tremaine Foundation (opens in new window); and three anonymous donors.
