Check out the Phonics Loom – a 1,700+ page library of printable phonics resources with LIFETIME ACCESS for a one-time $50. Instead of searching for activities topic by topic, you’ll have the full library covering essential skills, including this resource, the Learn to Read series (Parts 1–7), decodable booklets, sight words, spelling rules, fluency and seasonal themes from January through December.

86 printable pages to teach magic e (silent e, or split digraphs): a_e, i_e, o_e, u_e and e_e. A section for every long vowel, plus games, sentences, decodable stories, word sliders and a magic e check.

Magic e jumps over one letter and makes the vowel before it say its name: cap becomes cape, kit becomes kite. This pack follows the Science of Reading: children contrast short and long vowels, blend and spell magic e words, then read them in sentences and short stories. Heart words that look like magic e words (have, give, come, some) are listed separately so children are not confused.
