The Sound ‘V’ Needs an ‘E’!

Welcome, everyone! Today, we’re going to learn about the letter ‘V’ and why it needs a special friend, the letter ‘E’. Let’s have some fun!

Meet the Letter ‘V’

The letter ‘V’ is very special. It looks like a pointy triangle. But guess what? ‘V’ is a bit wobbly and can’t stand up by itself at the end of words. Oh no!

Here Comes the Hero ‘E’

Don’t worry! The letter ‘E’ is here to help. ‘E’ is like a superhero for ‘V’. When ‘V’ is at the end of a word, ‘E’ comes to the rescue and holds it up. Isn’t that amazing?

Why ‘E’ is Important

When ‘V’ is at the end of a word, it needs ‘E’ to keep it from falling over. Even though ‘E’ doesn’t make a sound, it helps ‘V’ stand strong. Remember, if you see a word ending with ‘V’, it needs an ‘E’ to help it out!

What About Two ‘V’s?

Sometimes, we might see two ‘V’s together. But wait! That looks too much like a ‘W’, and ‘W’ doesn’t like that. So, we need to make sure ‘V’ has its friend ‘E’ to keep everything in order.

Let’s Practice!

Now that you know how ‘V’ and ‘E’ work together, try finding words that end with ‘V’. Can you spot the ‘E’ helping out? It’s like a fun game!

Remember, ‘V’ and ‘E’ are great friends, and they work together to make words just right. Keep practicing, and you’ll become a reading superstar!

  • Can you think of any words that end with the letter ‘V’? Why do you think they need the letter ‘E’ at the end?
  • Imagine if letters were people. How do you think ‘V’ feels when ‘E’ comes to help it stand up? Can you think of a time when someone helped you like that?
  • What other letters do you think might need a friend like ‘E’ to help them? Why do you think it’s important for letters to work together?
  1. Word Hunt Adventure: Go on a word hunt around your home or classroom. Look for words that end with the letter ‘V’. When you find one, check if it has an ‘E’ at the end. Write down the words you find and draw a picture of the letter ‘V’ with its superhero friend ‘E’ helping it stand strong. Share your findings with your classmates!

  2. Build a Word: Use letter blocks or cut-out letters to build words that end with ‘V’. Don’t forget to add the letter ‘E’ at the end to help ‘V’ stand up! Try making words like “give” or “live”. Once you’ve built a word, say it out loud and clap for each letter to remember how ‘V’ and ‘E’ work together.

  3. Story Time with ‘V’ and ‘E’: Imagine a story where the letter ‘V’ is feeling wobbly and needs help. How does the letter ‘E’ come to the rescue? Draw a comic strip showing ‘V’ and ‘E’ on their adventure. Share your story with a friend or family member and explain why ‘E’ is such an important helper for ‘V’.

Here’s a sanitized version of the provided YouTube transcript:

[Applause] They are here! The waiting is over. Put your hands together for the amazing, the incredible! [Music]

Oh no, it looks like the V is too pointy to stand up. Wait, who is this?

E to the rescue! He’s amazing! The V needs an E to hold it up. You can’t have a V at the end of words; it’s too pointy and is going to fall. But the E is using all its power to hold up the V. It makes no sound.

Next word, please! [Music]

It’s beginning to fall again. Oh no, where’s an E when you need him? Amazing! The E is holding up the V.

I love these letters! Remember, when you have a word ending in a V, you need an E.

Here are two V’s together. Oh no, we can’t have two V’s together; they look too much like a W, and it gets very annoyed. [Music]

It needs an E.
