Magic 'e' Skill Explainer

Closed Syllables and Magic ‘e’: Student Read Sheet with Words, Phrases, and Sentences

For this activity, students will practice reading words with closed syllables and words with magic ‘e’, also known as silent ‘e’. They'll practice going from a closed-syllable word like tap to a magic 'e' word like tape. Students will decode words, build accuracy and fluency, and strengthen their vocabulary.
