   Hi Anna,

   Thank you so, so much for sharing all of these ideas to teach the long vowels with the magic e. I find them very useful when I teach students with learning disabilities. I really appreciate that you share your ideas for free. Thanks for your generosity and kindness.

   These activities are fantastic! We use them often. Do you have similar activities for Long E spellings? I can only find A, I, O, and U.

   THANKS!!

         There are fewer than five words with the e-e pattern. Not enough for worksheets!

     Hi Sandy!

     This is Kate, Anna’s assistant. The links are in the blog post. The first set of links looks like this, and you’ll find more sets in the post:

     Free Fold and Read Cards

     a-e words
     i-e words
     o-e words
     u-e words

     The linked words are brown. I hope this helps!

   I love your printables and your generosity. I’m finding as I find something I would I would to use in my classroom like the magic e word activities, I have to dwell and dwell before I get what you have to offer. Am I overlooking it (which is likely), or what? Thanks so much for your help and your kindness.

     Hello!

     This is Kate, Anna’s assistant. I’m sorry you’re having trouble! This page we’re on has many different links to magic e activities. Is there one that is not working for you, or is there one you need that you can’t find? Feel free to leave another comment if there is a way I can be of help. I’m not sure which activity you’re having trouble with. Thanks!

   I am absolutely thrilled with your website. The activities are awesome and they’re FREE!! I am using them with my grandsons who are in first grade. It makes learning so much fun for them. It is so difficult to find worthwhile activities that hold the interest of children the way yours do! Thank you so much for taking your time to create such an abundance of fantastic activities.
