Is It Silent? Worksheet
Phonetic sounds can be tricky sometimes, especially as the same sounds can actually turn out not sounding the same when found in two different words. For example, the /e/ sound found in words like ‘egg’ is not the same as the silent /e/ sound found at the end of words like ‘slime’. Ask your students if they can give you some more examples of words that have this silent /e/ sound. Read the words in this worksheet aloud together with your little ones, and ask them to check the words that have a silent /e/.
Required skills:
To resolve this worksheet, students should be able to recognize the difference between the /e/ sound in words like ‘egg’ and in the silent /e/ sound at the end of words like ‘slime’. They should also be able to read and identify the words given in the worksheet.
