Description: Game 1a | In the simplest version, a 26-card game, the player hears and sees two similar words, one of which needs the final E and one of which does not, and must drag and drop the magic E to complete the correct word. In all games, the player can press the images on each page to hear the words repeated as many times as necessary. Game 1b | In this 51-card game, the player hears and sees a simple word and must choose between two spellings, one with the final E and one without. Players will practice listening for the short and long vowel sounds in the words and will internalize the use of the magic E. Because there are so many pages in this game and game #2, they are recommended as homework (students can play once a day for a whole week's worth of assignments) or as learning centers (so that the teacher can look at class data over time to see problematic sounds and words and work on them in class) but not as Fast pins. Game 2 | In this 51-card game, the player hears and sees a simple word and must choose whether or not it is necessary to drag and drop the magic E to complete the word and change the first vowel sound from short to long. - Short/long vowel word pairs to differentiate: at / ate, can / cane, cap / cape car / care, cop / cope, cub / cube cut / cute, fin / fine, hat / hate her / here, hop / hope, hug / huge kit / kite, man / mane, mad / made mop / mope, pan / pane, past / paste pin / pine, rip / ripe, rod / rode star / stare, slid / slide, tap / tape tub / tube
