Silent E Worksheets Printable, Long Vowel Words and Vowel Teams, Phonics Practice With Keys

The fourth phonics level: silent e, then the vowel teams ai, ee, oa and igh. It has 131 worksheets and 107 answer keys, 243 pages in all.

There are 8 lessons in order: a_e, i_e, o_e, u_e, then ai, ee, oa and igh. On the Add an e pages a child turns cap into cape and writes the new word. A script confirmed from CMUdict that the first word has a short vowel and the second a long one.

Sort pages put short and long vowels side by side, for example short a and a_e, or ai and a_e. Missing letters pages hide the vowel team, or the vowel and the final e in a silent e word. Words that break the pattern, such as have and give, are left out, and a script rejects them.

Sentences and stories use only sounds taught by that point. There is a story at the end of the silent e lessons and another at the end of the vowel teams.

Also inside: New sounds, Read, trace, write, Read it three times, Find the same word, Fix the word, Rhyme or not, Word ladder, Yes or no, Name the picture and Listen and write.

Print PDF. Page sizes in the files: US Letter 612 x 792 pt and A4 595 x 842 pt. A script confirmed the sizes, that the fonts are embedded and that no ink falls within 0.25 inch of the page edge. Test printing on a real printer has not been recorded for this file.

QUESTIONS AND HOW-TO
What does a child need to know first?
Short vowels, digraphs and blends. Those are levels 1 to 3 in this shop.

Why are some common words missing, such as come and love?
They do not follow the silent e pattern, so they are not on these pages.

Where are the answers?
After the worksheets, in the same order, with the same code on each key.

Can I use it with a class?
The license is for personal use, so one family or one child.

Print settings for this PDF
Open the PDF in Adobe Acrobat Reader or Preview, not in a browser tab. Browsers can change the scale without telling you.
In the print window, pick the paper size that matches the file name.
In Acrobat Reader, set Page Sizing to Actual Size. In Preview, set Scale to 100%. If the edges get cut off, switch to Fit in Acrobat Reader or Scale to Fit in Preview.
Print one page first and check it before you print the rest.
To print only some pages, type the numbers in the Pages box, for example 3-8.
For double-sided pages, choose flip on long edge for portrait pages.

A4 or US Letter
US Letter is 8.5 x 11 inches (216 x 279 mm). It is the usual paper in the United States and Canada.
A4 is 210 x 297 mm (8.3 x 11.7 inches). It is the usual paper in most other countries.
The paper size is in each file name. Print the one that matches the paper in your printer.
If you only have the other size, use Fit or Scale to Fit in the print window. The page will come out slightly smaller, with wider margins.

HOW AI WAS USED
AI helped write the listing text, the how-to text, the sentences and stories, the choice of words and the code that builds this file. Scripts tested: the sounds of every practice word against the lesson on its page, the approved word list, repeats on a page and across the book, every answer key against its worksheet, short and long vowel pairs and sorts by CMUdict, the contents links, overflow and ink near the page edge. No person is claimed to have checked it unless stated here.
