What are Magic E Words?

Magic E words are special words that have an 'e' at the end. This 'e' is magical because it changes the sound of the vowel that comes before it! It makes the vowel say its name instead of its sound.

Examples of Magic E Words

Let's look at some examples:

• Cap becomes Cape: The 'a' changes to the long sound, like saying 'a'.
• Pin becomes Pine: The 'i' turns into the long sound 'eye'.
• Not becomes Note: The 'o' changes to the long sound 'oh'.
• Tim becomes Time: The 'i' changes to the long sound.
