Silent "e" Practice: is it "bossy"or "magic"?


So many good ideas come from Pinterest. I was looking for some new ways to reinforce silent "e". I came across this chart and it's now one that we practice a few times a week. Say it without the "e" hop and then add the "e" and make it hope. Sometimes we call it "bossy" e and other times it's "magic" e.  Whatever way the children remember that the "e" makes the vowel say its own name is a good way.
After chanting the chart, students get to enhance their learning by playing a game that features "silent e" words. (Thanks to TPT for this game.)
