Quality Montessori Silent E Reading Blocks - Teach Magic E - Wooden Educational Toy for Beginning Readers

Quality Montessori's Silent E Reading Blocks are an excellent choice for introducing the concept of Magic or Bossy E. Once a child has mastered reading phonetic words, they are ready to start learning long vowel sounds. The blocks are easy to use, just twist the end block to reveal and hide the Silent E. For example: man becomes mane, fad becomes fade and so on. All 40 words are in the dictionary. To start, have the the child read the phonetic word without an E on the end. Then spin the end block to reveal the E and say, "In this case, the E does not make a sound, but it does have a job. The E makes the middle vowel say it's name." Practice reading the new word together. Continue reading words in this manner, helping when necessary and eventually moving on to other vowels. Recommended for children 3-8 years old. Perfect for the Montessori primary preschool and kindergarten classroom. Handmade in the USA by a certified AMS Montessori teacher with imported, sustainably sourced raw maple wood and water based ink.
