Create CVCe Words By Adding a Magic E!

Use this resource as a literacy group activity when teaching your students about changing short vowel sounds to long vowel sounds by adding a magic e.

How to Use This Magic E Words Activity

  1. Place the cards on the floor sorted into two piles (based on the card type).
  2. Choose a CVC word card, then look through the magic e cards to find a match. The image above each magic e can be used as a clue to find the right pair.
  3. Continue play until all matches have been made.

An answer sheet is provided with this download so that students can self-check their matches.

Scaffolding and Extension Tips 

  • Challenge fast finishers by having them list each word in their writing journals then write a sentence for each word. 
  • Support students who need help understanding the concepts by completing the activity as a part of an adult-supported, small-group session.
