Why get the bundle
- Silent e needs many looks. The bundle includes the other vowels, and a mixed set, plus an assessment.
The problem
Skate, pace, tame: the a that says its name
A silent e on the end changes the first vowel from short to long. Children read 'skate' as 'skat' and wonder what the e is doing.
Reading it as short a
Without noticing the e, a child says 'tam' for tame. The e is the clue.
Pace and the soft c
In 'pace', the e also makes the c say /s/. Children read it as /k/.
Distance matters
The e sits at the end, with a consonant between it and the vowel. Beginners don't see the link.
Only a-e words are included, such as skate, pace and tame. Children learn to look for the e at the end before they read the vowel.

Questions
Before you buy.
What does silent e do?
It tells the vowel before it to say its name. 'Tam' becomes 'tame'.
What about 'have' or 'give'?
Some words, like have, break the rule. Teach them as special words and keep them out of the pattern.
How do I get the file?
The download link appears right after checkout and lands in your inbox at the same time. One PDF with 14 pages. No account needed.
Can I print it more than once?
Yes. One teacher or one household can print unlimited copies for their own students, this year and next.
Will it print in color?
The pages are designed to print in black and white, so they print clean on any home or school printer and do not eat a cartridge.
What if it isn’t right for us?
Email support@suecurve.com within 30 days and we refund the full $5. No form, no questions.
