Hey there, friend! Have you ever heard about the magic “E”? It’s a special letter that can change how other letters sound. Today, we’re going to learn about how the magic “E” works with the letter “R” to make new sounds.
When the letter “R” is with a vowel, like “A,” “I,” or “U,” it makes a new sound. But when the magic “E” joins them, it changes the sound even more! Let’s see how this works with some words:
Isn’t it fun to see how letters can change sounds? You can practice by finding more words with “R” and magic “E” in your favorite books. Try saying them out loud to hear the magic!
Now that you know the secret of the magic “E” and “R,” you can tell your friends and family. Learning new sounds is like solving a puzzle, and you’re doing a great job!
Word Hunt: Go on a word hunt around your home or classroom! Look for words that have the magic “E” and the letter “R” together, like “care” or “fire.” Write them down on a piece of paper. How many can you find? Try saying each word out loud and listen to the special sound they make.
Sound Detective: Become a sound detective! Ask an adult to read a story to you. Every time you hear a word with the magic “E” and “R,” raise your hand or make a fun sound, like a bell or a clap. Can you guess the word before it’s finished?
Create Your Own Magic Words: Use letter cards or magnetic letters to create your own words with the magic “E” and “R.” Try different combinations and see what sounds they make. Can you make a new word that sounds like “care” or “fire”? Share your new words with a friend or family member and see if they can guess the sound!
Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:

Hey buddy, do you know about the “R”? Well, the news on the street is that the “R” is going up against the “E.” The magic “E” you see, when a vowel is together with an “R,” it makes a new sound. But the magic “E” changes the vowel. Together, the three letters make a complete new sound: “care,” “air,” “fire,” “cure.” Remember what I told you about vowel “R”? It’s a completely different sound now. Spread the word!
