CVCe words are special words! They have a consonant, then a vowel, then another consonant, and finally, a silent 'e' at the end. That silent 'e' is magical because it makes the first vowel say its name! Instead of saying a short sound like in 'cat', the 'a' in 'cake' says its name – 'A'! Knowing about CVCe words helps you read and spell better.
Let's get some practice with identifying, reading and using CVCe words. Remember that silent 'e' is important!
Match the word to its definition. Draw a line connecting them!
