What Are CVCe Words?
Whether we're talking CVC words, CVCC words, or CVCe words, the letter C stands for consonant and the letter V stands for vowel. So that might just give you a hint as to the meaning of this one!
Yes, CVCe stands for words that are made up of a consonant, vowel, consonant, and then the letter “e" at the end. That "e" at the end is important as these words help students learn that this particular vowel at the end of a word makes the vowel “say its name,” meaning it becomes a long vowel.
In these words, the letter "e" is not heard, so it's often called a silent letter. It may also be called a sneaky e or a magic e.
