http://www.scholastic.com/teachers/top_teaching/2010/10/my-november-top-ten-list-word-study-in-action Excellent web site for ideas on lessons and teaching. This website as a whole has a lots of resources and is connected to private teacher's blogs also. I wasn't sure where to put it so I just added it on my silent e page. This website can be linked to any page and used with a lot of different variety of lesson plans. We can find some interactive game for phonics, some teacher ideas for language arts and early readers etc.

_ 5 kinds of silent e words:

> **Silent Final e's** should be thought of as "having a job." >> Silent **//e//** #1: //b**a**k**e** g**e**n**e** t**i**m**e**/t**y**p**e** c**o**d**e** c**u**t**e**// >> (The job of the #1 Silent e is to make the vowel preceding itsay its name.) Silent **//e//** #2: //lo**ve** gi**ve** bl**ue** tr**ue**// >> (The job of the #2 Silent final e is to prevent us from ending an English word with a **//v//** or a **//u//**.) Silent **//e//** #3: //chan**ce** bodi**ce** char**ge** alle**ge**// >> (The job of the #3 Silent final e is to soften a **//c//** or **//g//**.) Silent **//e//** #4: //lit t**le** cas t**le** bot t**le** dab b**le** fid d**le**// >> (The job of the #4 Silent final e is to prevent us from having a syllable with no vowel.) Silent **//e//** # 5: //ar**e** nurs**e** rais**e** by**e** ew**e** ow**e** caus**e**// >> Mrs. Spalding referred to the #5 Silent final e as the "No job e." > Mrs. Sanseri refers to the #5 Silent final e as the "Odd job E" and explains: "Any reason for a silent E not covered by the first four is lumped into this final category. > 1. The E keeps a word that is not plural from ending in an 's' > Examples: //dense// (not dens), //purse// (not purs), //false// (not fals) > 2. The E adds length to a short main-idea word. Ex.: //awe, ewe, rye// > 3. The E gives a distinction in meaning between homonyms. Ex.: //or/ore for/fore// > 4. The E is left over from Middle English or a foreign language where the final E was once pronounced. (//treatise giraffe//)"
 * 1) <span style="font-family: Times New Roman,Times,serif;">There are five kinds of **//Silent final e's//**. (In short words such as //me, she,// and //he//, the //e// says **e**, but in longer words where a single e appears at the end, the e is silent.)

Rules of silent e
1. Silent //e// makes the vowel long.

2. Words may not end in //v// so we add a silent //e.// Example //have, give//

3. The silent //e// makes the c say /s/. Example //dance//

4. The silent //e// makes the g say /j/. Example //large//

5. Every syllable must have at least one vowel. Example //ap ple// (Other syllables that follow this rule: //ble, cle, dle, gle, ple, tle//)

6. When //s// is not doubled after two vowels or a consonant, add a silent//e.// Example //house//

7. No reason silent //e.// Example come
