Explanation:
- Adding a silent e to the end of a word often changes the vowel sound from short to long.
- For example, in "cub," the u has a short sound, but in "cube," the u has a long sound.
- This rule is a common phonics principle used to teach children how vowels change their sounds based on the presence of a silent e.
