About this resource
Description
This silent e sundaes activity gives early readers a sweet way to practice the silent e rule. Children read a short-vowel word on an ice cream scoop, such as cap, then add a silent e and read the new long-vowel word, cape. Seeing one letter change the sound of a whole word helps the CVCe pattern click.
To play, fold and cut the sixteen scoop cards. A child takes a card, reads the word, and sets it in the dashed box on the Sundae Mat, right beside the printed silent e. They read the new word, then open the card to check it, because the answer is printed inside the fold. Children record both words on the My Sundae Words page. A 1st grade practice worksheet follows, where they add a silent e to new words and write each one. This CVCe words activity works well in a literacy center, with a partner or at home.
What’s Included
- A colorful cover page
- How to Use page with steps and prep tips
- 16 fold-over scoop cards with a self-check inside
- Sundae Mat with a printed silent e
- My Sundae Words recording page
- 1st grade practice worksheet
- Answer keys for the cards and the practice page
Why This Activity Helps Kids
- Pairs like cap and cape show exactly how a silent e changes the vowel sound.
- The self-check card lets children fix mistakes on their own.
- Writing each pair builds spelling along with reading.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Sort the new words by their long vowel, time a partner race through the deck, or ask children to use a new word in a sentence. Bring the silent e sundaes activity back for quick review all year.
