Thanks for stopping by the Make, Take & Teach blog to check out the Magie e Activity Pack and Intervention Kit. The 15 activities contained within this activity pack and kit are ideal for use within your targeted small group instruction to teach the magic e rule. We know that children learn best through a hands-on approach to teaching and learning. The activities in the pack/kit are hands-on activities which means that you will need to gather some materials to assemble several of the activities. If you choose to order the kit, all the materials and printables are provided for you. The following activities are contained within the pack/kit:
A 17 page teaching manual provides step-by-step directions for each activity. Ideas for differentiation are provided. These directions makes the activities ideal for use during either teacher or para-professional led groups:
Magic e Wands and the Dry Erase Boards are the two activities that are used to directly teach the magic e rule. The teaching cards and the explanation of how to introduce the rule are provided for you. A list of magic e words is provided in the appendix of the teaching manual for use with the dry erase board activity.
The Magic e Activity Pack/Kit contains 5 activities that include magic e pairs so that students can compare words with and without the application of the rule. The Flip the Magic e activity is the first activity in this set. When you download the activity pack, you’ll receive 12 flip cards with picture cues and 28 cards without the picture cue. The Magic e Memory game contains 32 magic e pairs.
You’ll receive 3 Magic e Lotto game boards in the activity pack/kit. Students take turns reading the words on the lotto cards and covering the pictures on their card. The first player to have all the pictures covered wins the game. This activity can easily be transferred into your literacy centers.

The player who picks the red stick must put all their sticks back in the cup and play continues. Students try to be the first to roll 10 magic e words while playing the Roll A Word game.
