Vowel Teams and Silent E Practice for Grade 7
A practice set for 7th graders that reviews vowel team and silent e (VCE) spelling patterns, with key-term definitions, a comparison table, and worked examples of long vowel sounds. It builds decoding of unfamiliar multisyllabic words and spelling accuracy, and works well as a focused warm-up or small-group review.

Teacher Guide & Tips
- Use as a 15 to 20 minute warm-up or small-group station, reviewing the Key Terms box and comparison table before students attempt the practice items.
- Discussion question: How does a silent e change the vowel sound in *cake* compared with *cap*, and why does a vowel team like *ai* not need a silent e?
- Scaffold for struggling readers: provide a word bank sorted into vowel team and VCE columns, and have them read each word aloud and mark the stressed syllable before spelling.
- Extension for advanced students: have them find or create multisyllabic words that combine both patterns, such as *disagreeable* or *reclaimed*, and explain where the stress falls.
- Estimated time: about 20 minutes for the full review, plus 5 minutes for a quick check of answers.
