About this resource
What's inside this resource
Kit becomes kite when a silent e joins the end, and that one change is where these five i_e phonics worksheets begin. A short model on page 1 shows the i_e pattern, then children read short and long i pairs such as pin and pine, check the two i_e words in a row of four, and add e to rip and bit to make new words.
The middle pages connect reading to meaning and spelling. Children name four pictures with a helper and check the matching word, answer two riddles with bike or kite, sort short i and long i words, spell four dictated words, and follow a word chain from bike to two new words. Page 4 holds a short story, Mike's Ride, for underlining i_e words, answering two questions and drawing what is in the pine tree. The last student page uses fresh words for reading, spelling, two sentences and fixing a word that is missing its e.
- Grade 1 and ready kindergarten: long i with the i_e (silent e) pattern
- Seven pages: five student worksheets with 16 activities and a two-page answer guide with dictation scripts
- Print options: a full-color PDF and a print-friendly black and white PDF

Teaching tips
Read the directions aloud and model kit to kite before page 1, as the answer guide suggests.
Preview the picture names bike, kite, nine and pine before activity 4 so children decode the words rather than guess from the art.
Use the dictation sentences on page 6 for activity 7 and on page 7 for activity 14, and keep those pages out of the child's view.
Skills covered
Decoding long i: children read i_e words such as time, line and pine and compare them with short i words like pin and rid.
Spelling with silent e: children add e to rip and bit and spell dictated words such as ride and five.
