A teacher wants to describe to the class a rule associated with adding a silent "e" to the end of a consonant-vowel-consonant (CVC) word. The best approach would be to tell the students that when a silent "e" appears at the end of a CVC word, it cannot be heard but it

A) makes the other vowel have a long sound
B) makes the other vowel and consonant have a blended sound
C) makes the other vowel have a short sound
D) changes the other vowel into a long "e" sound


Ans: A) makes the other vowel have a long sound
When e is added to a word with a consonant-vowel-Consonant (CVC) combination, the initial vowel has a long sound. For example, "can" is a CVC word with a short a sound. When i is added to the end, the word becomes "cane" and the a has a long sound.
