Phonics Practice for Grade 3: Vowel Teams and Silent e
Name:
Date:
Today I am practising: Applying vowel team and silent e rules to read and spell longer words.
1
Add a silent e to each word and write the new word: cap, hop, pin, tub.
2
Circle the vowel team in each word: rain, green, boat, pie, play.
3
Read these pairs aloud and tell an adult how the vowel sound changes: mad and made, bit and bite.
4
Fill in the missing vowel team: r_n (water from clouds), sl_p (rest at night), tr_ (a tall plant).
5
Which word is spelled correctly: treen or train, boet or boat? Write the correct spellings.
6
Write two sentences, each using one vowel team word and one silent e word.
- Ask the child to explain why the e is silent, then compare words like cap and cape to make the rule visible.
