First Grade Mini Literacy Pack: From Words to Stories (Silent E with o, u, and e)

Your 1st grader already knows silent e can make a and i say their names. Now it's time for o, u, and e! In this pack, hop becomes hope, and cub becomes cube. Your scholar also learns that u with silent e has two sounds, "yoo" in cube and "oo" in tube, and both are right.

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 Mule and the Rose

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

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

Your scholar will practice
