TASK 5: ACTIVITIY 1

What is silent “e”

Silent “e” is found at the end the word. You do not say the “e” when you

sound to a long vowel sound. Let us look at the words below.

Read the words on the right hand side without silent ‘e’ and then read

the words on the left hand side with ‘silent e’

Adding silent e

mat m + ate = mate

bit b + ite = bite

kit k + ite = kite

not n + ote = note

pan p + ane = pane
