In many common words, a final e changes the vowel sound in the word. Children can compare word pairs to hear the difference.

Phonics Routine

  1. Read the word without rushing.
  2. Notice the vowel and the final e.
  3. Say the long vowel sound.
  4. Blend the whole word.

Compare pairs such as cap/cape and kit/kite to notice how the final e can change the vowel sound.
