Silent e song. This song about silent e teaches that silent e at the end of a word makes the vowel before it say the long vowel sound while the e remains silent. The silent e song can help your students learn how an e at the end of a word causes the vowel to make a long sound. Sing along as we give you examples for each of the vowel sounds as silent e changes the word and has the vowel say the long vowel sound while silent e stays silent. Silent e jumps over a consonant to help the vowel say its own name.

Lyrics

Silent e, silent e

Come on and learn with me

Silent e, silent e

Will help you write and read

Silent e

When silent e is at the end of some words

Its called silent e when it cant be heard

Silent e jumps one consonant back to the vowel

And tells it to say the long vowel sound

Heres the word at

A says ă

Add silent e to the end of the word

Now you have ate

A says ā

Silent e

Heres the word pet

E says ĕ

Add silent e to the end of the word

Now you have Pete

E says ē

Silent
