Magic e rule states that when the letter ‘e’ sits at the end of the word, it is usually silent and tell the vowel before it say its name (long sound). Take the word rat, the ‘a’ vowel sound is short here.When ‘e’ is added at the end of ‘rat’ , the sound of ‘a’ is pronounced as long vowel in ‘rate’ and e becomes silent.This is an important phonic rule to be taught to your students because there are many common words in this pattern.This rule is also called as silent e as the letter ‘e’ doesn’t produce any sound in the word.
