About This Long Vowel Magic E Words Worksheet
Magic e words, also known as silent e words, are an important phonics pattern that helps students understand how vowels change sounds in words. The silent e appears at the end of a word and changes the vowel before it from a short sound to a long sound. For example, cap becomes cape.
This pattern is sometimes called magic e or bossy e because the final e changes the vowel sound even though it is not pronounced.
