1. Topic-
The silent "e" and how it affects the pronunciation of a word.
 
2. Content-
After this lesson, students should be able to recognize words where you do not pronounce the letter "e"�, understand that they will only pronounce the words that comes before the silent "e"�, and recognize simple words that end in "e"� and pronounce them correctly. This is a key phonics rule that will help students learn to read.

3. Students will see say build and write cvc words.
 

D. Independent Practice-

1.Have students practice reading cvce words from the prepared list.
2.Students will complete cvcE worksheets
 

E. Accommodations (Differentiated Instruction)-

1. Students will have extended time if needed.
2. Directions rephrased and repeated
3.small group support
4.one on one support
 

F. Checking for understanding-

7. Evaluation-
After singing the silent e song, give each student a set of letters that spells a silent "e" word. Tell them we want to see if they learned how to use Silent "E".
