Now, listen for the short sound /e/ in the middle of these words:

  • He counted ten hens.
Long Sound of E

The long sound of E is /e/. Let’s say it together: /e/ /e/ /e/ /e/. Awesome!

Listen for the long sound /e/ at the beginning of these words:

  • At a zoo in the east, I saw an eagle and an egret.
  • There was also a big eel.

Now, listen for the long sound /e/ in the middle of these words:

  • Some geese landed by a stream.
  • They were near trees with green grass.

  1. Letter E Hunt: Go on a letter E hunt around your home or classroom. Look for objects that start with the letter E or have the letter E in their name. Can you find an egg, an envelope, or an eraser? Make a list or draw pictures of the items you find. This will help you recognize the letter E in everyday life!

  2. Sound Match Game: Create a set of cards with pictures of objects that have the short or long E sound (like egg, elephant, eagle, and tree). Mix them up and play a matching game. When you find a match, say the word out loud and identify if it has the short or long E sound. This will help you practice listening for the different sounds of E.

  3. Story Time with E: With a grown-up, read a short story or a picture book and listen for words with the letter E. Every time you hear a word with the short or long E sound, clap your hands or raise your hand. After the story, try to remember and say some of the words you heard. This will help you become a better listener and reader!
