Introduction to Silent-e

You already know that each vowel letter can make at least two sounds: long and short. Chapter 2 was all about words that always have short vowels.

In this chapter we are going to talk about long vowels. We are going to review which short and long vowel sounds go together, and we are going to learn all about silent-e, which turns short vowels into long ones.

The silent-e rule is one of the most useful tricks for reading. There are two important things to know about silent-e words. The first one is, the e at the end of the word is silent. The second thing is, the vowel in the middle of the word is long.

The really tricky thing about reading silent-e words is you have to look at the whole word before you start to sound it out. That’s because the e at the end of the word tells you the sound of the vowel in the middle. If you don’t know if there is an e at the end, you won’t know if the vowel in the middle is long or short. So it’s important to check for silent-e before you start reading the word.The silent-e words in this chapter are orange. So when you see an orange word, make sure you stop and think about the silent-e rule before you read the word.

Reading Silent-E Words

The silent-e rule tells you how to read certain words that end in e. There are some very short words where the e at the end is the only vowel, like me, be, and we. In those words, the vowel sound is long-e. But when a word ends in e and there is another vowel in the word, then the e is silent. If a word has silent-e, you have to look at the whole word before you read it. This is what you do:

1. First look at the whole word and see if there is an e at the end. If there is, then that e is silent.

2. Next, go back to the vowel in the middle of the word. The silent-e at the end makes the middle vowel sound long. Say the name of this letter: that’s its long vowel sound.

3. Now read the word starting from the beginning. But remember, the vowel in the middle is long and the e at the end is silent!
