King Virtue's Classroom - Silent E (Anchor Chant)

Silent, silent, vowel-consonant-silent e
Silent, silent, vowel-consonant-silent e

Silent e makes short vowels long
And it makes them say their name
Silent e affects the vowels, but the e remains the same
Silent, silent, vowel-consonant-silent e
Silent, silent, vowel-consonant-silent e

A usually says (short a), but silent e makes it (long a)
Silent e changes can to cane
With the middle sound long, strong a
I usually says (short i), but silent e makes it (long i)
Silent e changes pin to pine
With the middle sound long, strong i

Silent, silent, vowel-consonant-silent e
Silent, silent, vowel-consonant-silent e

O usually says (short o), but silent e makes it (long o)
Silent e changes hop to hope
With the middle sound long, strong o
U usually says (short u) but silent e makes it (long u)
Silent e changes tub to tube
With the middle sound long, strong u

Silent, silent, vowel-consonant-silent e
Silent, silent, vowel-consonant-silent e

E usually says (short e), but silent e makes it (long e)
You don't see this one often, but
You need it for Pete and Eve
You need it for a long, strong e

Silent e makes short vowels long
And it makes them say their name
Silent e affects the vowels, but the e remains the same
Silent, silent, vowel-consonant-silent e
Silent, silent, vowel-consonant-silent e
