THMAGIC E PAPER TOWEL ACTIVITY - As if learning to read wasn’t hard enough, our language throws in a curve ball to try and trick us up even more. Does anyone else have kids that get hung up on the ‘Magic e’ words?
Magic ‘e’ words are words that have an ‘e’ at the end of them to signify that a short vowel sound can be changed into a long vowel sound. The silent ‘e’ forces the preceding vowel to say its name.
💫 This magic paper towel activity is a fun and quick set up to help practice those tricky magic e word. Fold a piece of paper towel in half and write the word (without the e) on the front with marker (we used sharpies). On the inside of the paper towel add an ‘e’ in a different color.
💫 Have your child read the word shown on the front of the paper towel (without the e, using a short vowel sound)
💫 Gently lay the paper towel into a shallow tray of water. As the towel gets wet, the ‘e’ underneath will reveal itself. Have your child read the word again, this time with a long vowel sound.
