First Grade Mini Literacy Pack: From Words to Stories (Silent E with a and i)

Help your 1st grader discover the magic of silent e! When an e sits at the end of a word, it makes no sound. Instead, it tells the vowel to say its name. So cap becomes cape, and pin becomes pine. This pack teaches your scholar to spot the silent e and read long a and long i words with confidence.

What's inside (10 printable pages)

• A Grown-Up Guide and Toolkit, so you know exactly what to say and do

• Hear It: count the sounds in silent e words

• Map It: match each sound to a letter, with a special spot for the silent e

• Blend It: read silent e words, plus a Switch It word ladder

• Read It: a short decodable story, The Kite at the Lake

• Understand It: pick, order, and draw to show understanding

• Write It (2 pages): sort short vowel and silent e words, spell them, and write a full sentence
