    \n
  1. The Two Sounds of Letter E<\/strong><\/strong>

    The letter E makes two distinct sounds\u2013one is the     short letter E sound<\/a> that sounds like eh<\/em>, as in eggs<\/em>. The other is a long letter E sound that sounds like eee<\/em> as in eagle<\/em>. Be sure to help your child hear the different E sounds when reading through the lists of words.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    1. Long and Short E Lists<\/strong><\/strong>

      To help underscore the two different sounds that the letter E makes, create a list with two columns. One column is for words with a short E sound and the other is for words with a long E sound. Read through the lists of letter E words, and divide the words between the two columns depending on the letter E sound they make.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
