CVC Words File Folder Game

Check out my new product on TPT! It is a CVC file folder game in which students choose two consonants and a vowel, and blend the sounds together to read the word. It is great for literacy centers or for students who finish their work early.
Enjoy!

Silent E

Hello there :)

This is my last week of student teaching (WHAT?!), and I know I very rarely post, but hopefully I will have some time to put things up.

I've been wanting to post this idea for like 3 weeks. My first graders were learning about long vowel sounds, and my teacher taught them the rule that if there is a silent e, it makes the vowel say its name. I thought her idea to do this was really clever, so I wanted to share it!

She put a bunch of cvc words in the pocket chart, and then she had students come up, read the word, put a star with an e on it at the end of the word, and then read the new word with the silent e ending.

Then she had student make magic e wands! They were really cute, and they loved doing it. Then they got a worksheet just like the pocket chart and practiced reading words with and without the e ending.
