About this listen

In this episode, we take the next step in our phonics journey by introducing silent e words—also known as Mommy E if you're using Secret Stories in your classroom. After reviewing letter sounds, CVC words, blends, and digraphs, it's time to help students understand how a silent “e” changes everything.

I’ll explain how I introduce this concept using a fun and meaningful story students love, and I’ll walk you through 3 engaging classroom activities that make the “magic e” stick:

✨ Magic E Wand Words

🔄 Flip & Match Word Cards

🧠 Silent E Sorting Mats

Whether you're teaching whole group, small group, or intervention, these simple ideas will help your students confidently decode long vowel CVCe words like make, Pete, poke, and rule.
