When you add an e to the end of a word
It will change the vowel sound.
Can becomes cane
And tap becomes tape
It’s the coolest rule around.

The silent e the silent e
It will make the vowel say its name.
The silent e the silent e
Be on the look-out for the silent e.

Cap becomes cape, tap becomes tape,
Tub becomes tube, hop becomes hope,
Can becomes cane, kit becomes kite
Bit becomes bite, not becomes note
Cut becomes cute, mad becomes made
The Silent E
