About this resource
Description
Silent e is the first spelling pattern that changes a word a first grader can already read. Add an e to pin and it becomes pine; the e says nothing itself, but it reaches back over the consonant and makes the vowel say its own name. This CVC E Worksheet – Adding gives children thirteen chances to make that switch happen on paper, which is where the pattern stops being a rule they have heard and starts being one they can use on an unfamiliar word.
The first part prints eight short-vowel CVC words with an arrow and a writing line, and the child adds the silent e and writes the new long-vowel word. The second part runs the pattern backwards: five words that already end in silent e, with the child taking the e away and writing the short-vowel word that is left. Working in both directions is what stops the pattern being memorized as a list of word pairs. Print it, read the first item aloud together, and let students say each new word before they write it.
What’s Included
- A printable page with thirteen silent e items, plus a matching answer key
- Eight CVC words to turn into long-vowel words by adding e
- Five silent e words to turn back into short-vowel words
- Words printed in a manuscript font with wide, 1st-grade writing lines
- An original illustration and a clean layout that prints on letter paper
Three Reasons This Helps Kids
- Writing the new word, rather than circling it, is what fixes the vowel change in a child’s memory.
- Every pair here makes two real words, so the child hears the pattern work instead of learning a rule about nonsense.
- Adding and removing the e in one lesson keeps silent e from becoming a list of pairs to memorize.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Use this 1st grade CVC worksheet right after a magic-e mini-lesson. Ask children to read the short word aloud, then read it again with the e added, so the vowel change is something they hear before they write it. Hunt for silent e words in the book on the desk and try taking the e off each one to see whether a real word is left. The CVC E Worksheet – Adding also makes a quick, calm literacy-center activity, with the key on the back for partners to check each other.
