The tale of Silent 'e'

Say your name little 'a'

Silent 'e' is a little sneaky! He changes the sound of a vowel just by standing at the end of a word. He scares the vowel and makes them say their name!!! When he stands by the letter 'a', instead of saying 'a' like apple, he makes 'a' say its name...
