Understanding the Magic E

Mrs. Bird teaches students about the magic E, which changes the sound of vowels in words. She demonstrates this by transforming words like 'rob' to 'robe', 'cod' to 'code', 'rod' to 'road', and 'slop' to 'slope'. The magic E makes the preceding vowel say its name while remaining silent itself.
