Skill: long (i) spelling patterns (i-e) and (ie)
The “e” at the
end of hike is
silent; it is a signal that
sits at the end of a word. It tells the first
vowel to say its name.
It is known as the magic "e" rule.
Read these words.
| bike | glide | line | rife | thrive |
| bite | gripe | mile | ripe | time |
| bribe | hide | mine | size | tribe |
| crime | hive | pike | slime | vine |
| dike | jibe | pile | smile | while |
| dive | jive | pipe | spike | whine |
| drive | kite | pride | spine | white |
| file | life | prize | strife | wide |
| fine | like | quite | strike | wife |
| five | lime | ride | stripe | wipe |
Recall long vowel rule: When two vowels go walking, the first one does the talking (it says its name), the second one does the walking (it is a silent listener).
| die | died | lie | pie | tie | tied |
Write the two long (i) patterns used in the words above.
