Words where a silent e at the end makes the vowel say its name: cake, bike, home, cute. Take the e away and cap, pin and hop come back.

Bee Practice says each word, then a sentence where there is one, and you pick the right spelling from three boxes. No typing. Two first-try rights and a word is spelled for good on this device. Running a bee? Pronouncer mode shows each word for a grown-up to read, and prints cards.

Magic e

A silent e after one consonant makes the vowel before it long: hop becomes hope, cut becomes cute.
