“I like READING so much I want to READ past my bedtime.
I don’t care about the bedtime… I just READ.”
Mastery of reading skills builds a pupil’s confidence.
Mastery of the Magic e rule represents an important move forward in the development of reading skills and usually produces a significant increase in the reading age measured using a standardised test. It is usual to introduce this phonic rule after letter sounds, consonant digraphs, initial consonant blends and final consonant blends have been mastered.
Before using these worksheets it is helpful to introduce the principle using words within the pupil’s experience, e.g. hat - hate. It is important to emphasise the long vowel sound as some pupil's auditory discrimination will be too weak for the difference to be picked up immediately. It is always helpful to work on one vowel sound at a time and then use the mixed practice sheets for consolidation.
When introducing a magic e vowel sound it is sometimes helpful to read rhyming word lists with the pupils, e.g.
hat - hate
mat - mate
rat - rate
fat - fate
During this exercise it is not necessary for the words to be within the pupil’s life experience, in fact nonsense words can be used to lengthen the list.
If the pupil is experiencing difficulty with Phonic Test 6 ~ Silent E, the Magic E Book is recommended as appropriate teaching materials.
