magic e

Rule
The magic e sends all its power to the vowel making the vowel so
strong it says its name but no energy is left for the 'e' to make
any sound (Iearn for reading first and then speIIing).
hate
N Try reading these words.
N Cover the 'e' and read the cvc word the vowel is closed in
and makes a weak sound.
N Reveal the 'e' and read the whole word now the vowel has
been given power by the magic 'e' and it has a strong name.
