1) MAGIC E
✨ MAGIC E makes the vowel say its name!
This is one of the most important spelling patterns for early readers.
When we add e at the end, the vowel sound often changes:
cap → cape
kit → kite
hop → hope
tub → tube
Teaching this pattern helps children move from short vowel words to long vowel words with more confidence.
💬 Which word does your child find easiest: cape, kite, hope, or tube?
