Today we're going to review the Magic E sound. Remind your child that when a word ends with a Magic E, the “e” at the end is silent, but it makes the vowel that come before it say its own name. (Or start here for more practice.)

Have your child read the passage below out loud:
Blake the Mule
Blake, the mule, woke up in his home.
He ate his oats and drank his milk. Blake felt full and said, “It is late! Time to get going!”
He left his home and set off to hike.
He pushed open a gate and saw a grove with grapes. The grapes were ripe. He picked a grape and ate it. Blake felt brave and chose to explore some more. He found a path that led to a lake.
Blake sat happily by the lake and watched the sun set.
