Here’s a free resource to help your child with (or without) T21 learn the concept of silent e in long vowel words. Most phonics programs require children to practice word families by reading long, drill-like lists of words. Early on, I knew that was not going to fly with my little guy. So, to help him understand silent e, I adapted the word lists to make them colorful, interactive, and full of pictures to boost comprehension and to make reading lists of words more meaningful and interesting.
Take a look:
Having the silent e in a yellow font helps students remember that it silent. Pictures help the student understand that adding silent e at the end of the word changes its meaning.
Next, students read a word and find the corresponding picture. I only put one word family at a time per page to minimize errors. On the next page, students read the same word list but this time without colored fonts.
Finally, students read the sentence strips. If necessary, cut the page into strips so the students look at only one sentence at a time. You can check their comprehension by having them answer “yes” or “no” to each question.
And that’s it! This book covers all the CVCe word families in 61 pages.
