Today groups 5 and 6 were introduced to the Magic (or Silent) e. Students learned that the magic e can reach over just one consonant and make a vowel say its name. We used sound boxes to try out the magic e on some different words and practiced reading the words with and without the magic e - taking special care to make sure that we used the right vowel sound, depending on whether magic e was tapping the vowel or not.

I love teaching kindergarten literacy at STEM! It is amazing to be a part of the reading and writing growth of a kindergarten student. You get to see kids move from knowing some letters and sounds to being enthusiastic readers and young authors. Archives
