Short To Long

Worksheet Description

The “Transforming Short Vowel Words with Silent ‘e'” worksheet is designed to help students understand the concept of CVCe (Consonant-Vowel-Consonant-silent ‘e’) words and their role in changing short vowel sounds to long vowel sounds. This worksheet is suitable for early elementary students, typically in first or second grade, who are learning about phonics and word patterns.

Adding Silent ‘e: Students are provided with a list of short vowel words (e.g., “tap,” “hop”) and their task is to add a silent ‘e’ to each word to transform it into a new word with a long vowel sound (e.g., “tape,” “hope”).

This worksheet reinforces the understanding that the silent ‘e’ at the end of a word can change the pronunciation of the vowel from short to long. It provides valuable practice for students to recognize and apply this pattern.
