Complete the silent e words

Key Notes :

Some words end with a silent e. The silent e does not make a sound. Instead, it can make the vowel before it has a long vowel sound. A long vowel says its name.

⛺ In the word cap, the vowel does not say its name. It makes a short a sound instead. In the word cape, the vowel says its name because of the silent e.
