This collection of free silent e flashcards (aka magic e) contains 5 sets of 8 cards each, for 40 different words total that students can memorize and practice.

💡What is the Silent E?
The silent e, also known as the magic e, causes its preceding vowel to be pronounced in its long vowel form. For example, “cap” becomes “cape”, where the vowel turns from short to long.

Each flashcard set below covers 8 words for each vowel that the magic e adjusts:

  • A Vowels – cake, bake, make, name, same, cane, tape, shake
  • E Vowels – scene, theme, delete, gene, these, breeze, extreme, athlete
  • I Vowels – bite, kite, ride, beside, fine, ripe, bike, time
  • O Vowels – note, vote, rope, hope, home, bone, cone, rose
  • U Vowels – cube, tube, tune, flute, mute, prune, rude, cute

All the flashcard sets are completely free, so feel free to grab all of them!

You can use these resources to help students both rote learn the words and practice the sounding-out of the long vowel sound in the context of common simple words.

All the flashcards are designed to be printed onto regular US Letterhead paper (the sort of paper you’d put into your at-home printer!). Make sure you select the “shrink to fit” option when printing to avoid any cut-offs on your print.
