Long Vowel Magic e Worksheet by FIRST grade is a HOOT | TPT - Free Printable

Problem Description:

The task involves converting short vowel words into new words by adding a "magic e" at the end. The rule provided is: "When 2 vowels go walking, the last one does the talking." This means that when an "e" is added to the end of a word, it changes the pronunciation of the preceding vowel, making it a long vowel sound.

Steps to Solve:

1. Identify the Short Vowel Words: The given words are all short vowel words (e.g., "cap," "man," etc.).
2. Add the Magic "e": Append an "e" to each word.
3. Apply the Rule: When an "e" is added, the vowel before it becomes a long vowel sound.
4. Write the New Word: Write the new word with the added "e."

Solution:

#### Table Filling:
| Short vowel word | Add a magic e | Short vowel word | Add a magic e |
|------------------|---------------|------------------|---------------|
| cap | cape | dim | dime |
| man | mane | kit | kite |
| fat | fate | slid | slide |
| hop | hope | cub | cube |
| not | note | cut | cute |
| mop | mope | tub | tube |

Explanation:

- cap → cape: Adding "e" makes the "a" sound like /eɪ/ (long "a").
- dim → dime: Adding "e" makes the "i" sound like /aɪ/ (long "i").
- man → mane: Adding "e" makes the "a" sound like /eɪ/ (long "a").
- kit → kite: Adding "e" makes the "i" sound like /aɪ/ (long "i").
- fat → fate: Adding "e" makes the "a" sound like /eɪ/ (long "a").
- slid → slide: Adding "e" makes the "i" sound like /aɪ/ (long "i").
- hop → hope: Adding "e" makes the "o" sound like /oʊ/ (long "o").
- cub → cube: Adding "e" makes the "u" sound like /juː/ (long "u").
- not → note: Adding "e" makes the "o" sound like /oʊ/ (long "o").
- cut → cute: Adding "e" makes the "u" sound like /juː/ (long "u").
- mop → mope: Adding "e" makes the "o" sound like /oʊ/ (long "o").
- tub → tube: Adding "e" makes the "u" sound like /juː/ (long "u").

Final Answer:

The completed table is as follows:

| Short vowel word | Add a magic e | Short vowel word | Add a magic e |
|------------------|---------------|------------------|---------------|
| cap | cape | dim | dime |
| man | mane | kit | kite |
| fat | fate | slid | slide |
| hop | hope | cub | cube |
| not | note | cut | cute |
| mop | mope | tub | tube |
