Magic E Long A Worksheets | CVC to CVCe a_e Phonics Activities | 1st Grade ESL

Ribbit — ESL/EFL Worksheet Resource

This 8-page Magic E pack teaches long a with silent e (a_e) by turning CVC words into CVCe words, for 1st grade and ESL/EFL phonics lessons. It opens with CVC to CVCe: students read cap, gap, can, rat, mat, tap, dam and mad, add an e and write the new word (cape, gape, cane, rate…). Listen and Number uses a QR code audio track, and Read, Find and Circle sorts CVC words from CVCe words by colour. Other pages include rhyme time, a word search, read and draw, a Listen and Chant with 5 rhyme chains, grouping words into -ape, -ake, -ame, -ane and -ate families, and a make-your-own Magic E word table. A Fluency Builders page grows one sentence word by word ("Kate and an ape are in a lake."), and the pack finishes with a short story, "Jake's Cake", with four comprehension questions. Several pages have QR codes linking to audio or a digital version.
