Silent E Matching: Cut and Paste

Get to know the tricky “silent e” with this cut-and-paste worksheet! Young readers will start by adding an e to the end of each word in the list, forming a new word with a silent e. Then, students will cut out each image at the bottom of the page and paste it next to the matching word.

This hands-on activity will show first and second graders how a silent e at the end of a word will change the vowel from its short to long sound. Learners will become familiar with the pattern and pronunciation of silent e words, boosting their phonics skills to help them become better readers and writers.
