Add the Magic e — Long Vowel Words

The magic e is a quiet little letter that changes everything: add it to the end and the vowel says its name — kit becomes kite, cap becomes cape. The base word is already started for you; tap the magic e to finish the word for the picture, and tap Hear it to listen to the long vowel. No timer and no score, just listening and noticing. Aligned to Common Core RF.1.3 — knowing the final -e and common vowel-team conventions for representing long vowel sounds.
