"a_e words" worksheet step by step. The goal is to

📝 Summary:
All these words follow the
"a_e" pattern, where the
'a' is long (pronounced /eɪ/), and the
'e' at the end is silent.
For example:
-
tape → /teɪp/
-
cake → /keɪk/
-
cape → /keɪp/
This helps children recognize
silent 'e' patterns in English spelling.
✔ All words are correctly spelled with the given letters and images!
