Frequently Asked Questions (Click to see answers)

What is magic e with e in Year 1 spelling?

Magic e with e is when a silent e at the end helps change the vowel sound in the word. It can make a word sound different, like when a short e sound becomes a longer sound.

Why do some words change meaning when you add e?

Adding a silent e can change the vowel sound, which can create a new word with a different meaning. For example, changing the sound can turn one word into another word that means something else.

How can children practise magic e words in Year 1?

Children can practise by reading word pairs aloud, spotting the silent e, and writing each word in a short sentence. Sorting words into “with e” and “without e” groups can also help.
