Silent E Animal Story
Read the story. Look for words that end in a silent e. The e is not pronounced, but it usually makes the vowel before it say its name.
On match day, a brave wallaby named Tahnee arrived early at the netball court. Her name was Tahnee. She wore a blue bib and stood beside her teammate, a koala called Clive.
“Stay in line and pass the ball with care,” said their coach, a wise old wombat. The court had a wide gate at one side, and a white flag waved above it.
At the start of the match, Tahnee made a quick pass. Clive caught the ball and sent it through the hoop. Their team won by one point!
After the game, Tahnee gave Clive a smile. “Let’s come back next time,” she said. The friends went home proud of their play.
