Exploring Long Vowels and Silent E Rules

The video tutorial covers two main rules for understanding long vowels: the Super Silent E rule and the Two Vowels Walking rule. The Super Silent E rule is explained with examples like 'rake', 'kite', 'tube', and 'bone', where the silent 'E' changes the preceding vowel to a long vowel sound. The Two Vowels Walking rule is demonstrated with words like 'leaf', 'rain', and 'soap', where the first vowel does the talking, and the second is silent. The tutorial uses engaging examples to help learners grasp these phonetic concepts.
