Magic-E Object Magnets

Magic E Object Magnets are an engaging tool for teaching the "magic e" rule, where a silent "e" at the end of a word changes the vowel sound to a long vowel. This set includes 40 magnetic foam objects, each representing a word with a magic e, such as bike, mice, and cone. These objects provide a hands-on, interactive way for children to learn and practise the long vowel sounds created by the magic e. Each piece measures approximately 51mm, making them easy for children to manipulate as they build and sound out words. By using these magnets, children can reinforce their understanding of how the silent "e" changes a vowel's pronunciation and spelling. The fun, colourful design makes learning the magic e rule both engaging and effective, offering an ideal resource for reinforcing early literacy skills in the classroom or at home.
