Magic E Syllables

A Magic E syllable is a syllable that ends with an 'e' which makes the vowel before it say its name (long sound).

One example is 'like'. The 'e' at the end makes the 'i' say its name.

The vowel sound becomes a long vowel sound.

The word is 'like'.

The purpose of the Magic E is to change the vowel sound from short to long.

The word is 'gate'.

The Magic E rule states that when an 'e' is at the end of a word, it makes the vowel before it say its name.

The word is 'love'.

An example is 'cat'. It does not have an 'e' at the end.

The word is 'bite'.
