📚✨ Exploring the Letter E! After our whole group lesson on the letter E and its sound, students head over to our letter table for some hands-on, multi-sensory practice. 🎨🖐️ In this video, I’m excited to show you all the engaging ways we dive into learning about the letter E.

Children first learn that the letter 'e' makes the short 'e' sound as in egg. In the words: we, me, she, be and he, the 'e' makes the long 'eeeee' sound. This can be tricky for children until they have been taught that the letter 'e' can make the short or long 'e' sound. This letter has been coloured red to support the children identify that it is a tricky letter! These words are commonly occurring in children’s stories so getting your child to read these by sight will support their reading flue
