Hello, friends! I am SuperLexia, your friendly helper in spelling and grammar. I love making language fun and easy by following some cool rules. Let’s use our super skills to beat spelling and grammar mistakes together!
Today, we’re going to learn about the silent E. Can you hear it? Nope, because it’s silent! But it has a special power. Silent E can jump over one letter and make the vowel before it say its name. It’s like a magic power-up!
Let’s see how it works. Take the word “cub.” It’s a small word with three letters. But when the silent E comes along, it turns into “cube”! Wow!
Here’s another one. Look at “cap.” It’s also a short word. But when silent E flies in, it becomes “cape”! Amazing, right?
Let’s try some more. Look up in the sky! Is it a bird? A plane? No, it’s a “kite”! Thanks to the silent E, “kit” becomes “kite”!
How about “pin”? With the silent E power-up, it turns into “pine”!
And “tub”? Silent E makes it “tube”!
Remember, silent E doesn’t make a sound; it’s quiet. But it gives vowels a special power-up to say their names. Isn’t that super cool?
Great job, language heroes! Keep practicing, and may your words always be awesome!
We’ve learned so much today! There are many more fun videos to watch. Imagine all the things you can learn! Check out the Smile and Learn educational channel to keep learning and having fun!
Silent E Word Hunt: Go on a word hunt around your home or classroom. Look for objects or items that have names with a silent E. For example, you might find a “cake” in the kitchen or a “bike” in the garage. Write down the words you find and draw a picture of each item. Can you find at least five words with a silent E?
Magic Word Transformation: Create a list of simple words that can be transformed by adding a silent E. For example, “mad” becomes “made” and “hop” becomes “hope.” Write the original word on one side of a piece of paper and the new word with the silent E on the other side. Practice reading both words out loud. How does the silent E change the way the word sounds?
Silent E Story Time: Write a short story using as many silent E words as you can. You can start with a sentence like, “Once upon a time, there was a brave knight with a magic cape.” Illustrate your story with drawings. Share your story with a friend or family member and see if they can spot all the silent E words!
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:

Greetings, citizens! I am SuperLexia, the guardian of spelling and grammar. I help make language excellent by following the rules. Let’s defeat spelling and grammar mistakes with the power of clear and impactful expression.
Today, we’re going to talk about silent E. Did you hear that? No, you didn’t, because it’s silent! Haha! It has amazing superpowers. Silent E can jump one letter, and if it finds a vowel, it makes it say its name. It’s the silent E power-up!
Let’s take the word “cub,” for example. It’s a short word with just three letters, but when the silent E comes, something amazing happens. Now it’s a “cube”!
Watch again! Let’s take “cap,” a short word with just three letters, but then silent E comes flying in. Now it’s a “cape”! Remarkable!
How is this possible? The silent E power-up! Look closely—what’s that? Is it a bird? A plane? No, it’s a kite! Here comes silent E. Now it jumps one letter and finds a vowel, so it makes the vowel say its name. It’s the silent E power-up!
Now it’s a “kite”!
Let’s try “pin.” Silent E power-up! Now it’s “pine”!
And “tub”? Silent E power-up! Now it’s “tube”!
Remember, silent E doesn’t make a sound; it’s silent, but it gives other vowels a power-up and makes them say their names.
Super job! Farewell, fellow language warriors! May words be forever in your favor.
