Hello, friends! Let’s learn about a special letter called Silent E. Silent E is very sneaky and loves to play tricks with words. When Silent E jumps next to a vowel, it makes the vowel say its own name! Isn’t that cool?
For example, Silent E can change “hop” into “hope” and “slop” into “slope.” It can also turn “can” into “cane” and “plan” into “plane.” Silent E loves to play this jumping game!
Silent E can also change the sounds of the letters C and G. When Silent E stands next to them, it makes them sound different. For example, instead of saying “rack,” you say “grace.” And instead of “fact,” you say “face.” Isn’t that magical?
Silent E can also change “rag” to “rage” and “sag” to “sage.” Silent E is full of surprises!
Now, let’s meet another special letter, R. When R stands next to a vowel, they make a new sound together. For example, in the words “car” and “star,” R is in charge and makes a special sound.
When R is with E, I, or U, they make the sound “ER.” It’s like magic! Can you hear the “ER” sound in “her” and “fur”?
Let’s have some fun with numbers! When we add numbers, we get a new number. Let’s try some:
Three plus one equals four. Three plus two equals five. Three plus three equals six.
Four plus one equals five. Four plus two equals six.
Six plus ten equals sixteen.
Seven plus one equals eight.
Ten plus one equals eleven.
Here’s a fun trick! When you add zero to any number, the number stays the same. For example, five plus zero equals five. Isn’t that easy?
And when you multiply any number by zero, the answer is always zero. Like eight times zero equals zero. Magic!
We can learn math facts with fun DVDs and flashcards. They help us practice adding and subtracting numbers up to ten plus ten. Let’s have fun learning math together!
Thank you for learning with us! Keep practicing and have fun with letters and numbers!
Silent E Word Hunt: Go on a word hunt around your home or classroom! Look for objects or pictures that have words with Silent E. For example, find a picture of a “cake” or a “bike.” Write down the words you find and try to change them by adding or removing Silent E. How does the word change? Share your findings with a friend or family member!
R Sound Detective: Become a detective and listen for the special “ER” sound that R makes with vowels. With a grown-up, read a storybook and listen carefully for words like “her,” “fur,” or “bird.” Each time you hear the “ER” sound, raise your hand or make a fun sound like a bell. How many words can you find?
Number Magic with Zero: Let’s play a number magic game! Gather some small objects like blocks or buttons. Practice adding zero to different numbers of objects. For example, if you have 3 blocks and add 0 more, how many do you have? Try multiplying with zero too. What happens when you have 5 buttons and multiply by 0? Share your magic tricks with a friend!

[Music]
I am Silent E, and I am very tricky. I can jump on a vowel, leap over a consonant, and stand next to it quietly. When I do this, I make the vowel say its own name. That is why they call me Silent E.
I can change “hop” to “hope.” I can change “slop” to “slope.” I make a vowel say its name when I play the jumping game. I can change “can” to “cane” and “plan” to “plane.”
Let’s try a few more! I can change “them” to “nine.” I can change “slime” to “slime.” I make a vowel say its name when I play the jumping game. I can change “card” to “care” and “start” to “stare.”
Wait, I have a few more tricks up my sleeve! You think changing a vowel was easy? I can change C and G just by standing next to them.
When they stand next to me, I change the C and the G. Let’s give it a try! You don’t say “rack,” you say “grace.” You don’t say “fact,” you say “face.” I change the vowel in the C when they stand next to me. You don’t say “rag,” you say “rage.” You don’t say “sag,” you say “sage.” I change the vowel in the G when they stand next to me.
Some people think that I’m a bit controlling. Yeah, I suppose I am. But if you think waking up the whole town is controlling, watch what I can do with the vowels. They call me Controlling R.
I am R, and I’m in charge. When I’m with a vowel, we make one sound, and that sound is R. There’s a “car” here and a “star” there. I am R, and I’m in charge standing by a vowel.
Now things get really easy when I’m standing after E, I, and U. We make the sound ER. Watch! I am R, and I’m in charge standing by a vowel. With I or U, we make one sound, and that sound is ER.
Who stole the cookie from the cookie jar?

And sometimes Y. If you’re looking for a vowel, start with A. If you’re looking for a vowel, the next is sometimes Y.

Children will fall in love with these wonderful characters as they meet the letters, numbers, shapes, and colors. Preschool Prep series DVDs have won over 100 national awards and are used in millions of homes and schools around the world.
It’s time to meet the sight words. Many words don’t follow basic decoding rules and are taught in pre-k and kindergarten classrooms as sight words. A new reader will be frustrated by sight words until they are memorized. A good reader will be able to instantly recognize sight words without having to figure them out.
Meet the phonics featuring digraphs, blends, and letter sounds. With our exciting workbooks, you can practice identifying, writing, and reading your digraphs, blends, and letter sounds.

Now let’s start with three.
Three plus one equals four. Three plus two equals five. Three plus three equals six.
[Applause]
Now let’s start with four.
Four plus one equals five. Four plus two equals six.
[Applause]
Now let’s start with six.
Six plus ten equals sixteen.
Now let’s start with seven.
Seven plus one equals eight.
Now let’s start with ten.
Ten plus one equals eleven.
If you play the zero game, when you add me, you stay the same.
[Applause]
Any number plus zero equals itself.
Now let’s try it with a zero in the middle.
Eight times zero equals zero.
And now you can see when you multiply by zero, the answer will always be zero.
Meet the Math Facts levels 1, 2, and 3 DVDs teach addition and subtraction math facts to 10 plus 10.
Level 1 teaches math fact families with sums from zero to eight. Level 2 continues with sums from 9 to 12. With level 3, you will learn to add and subtract the fact families all the way to ten plus ten.
Next, have fun practicing with meet the math facts flashcards, workbooks, and coloring books.
