… an Integrated Approach Linda Collie. Spelling Silent letters (final -e) Rule When a one syllable word or accented syllable contains two vowels, one of which is a final -e, the first vowel usually represents its long sound and the final -e is silent. Example 7 I baked a cake. The word ‘cake’ is a one syllable word. The vowel ‘a’ makes the long sound and the final -e is silent. Example 2 We exercise every week at school. The word ‘exercise’ has three syllables. The syllable ‘-cise’ is stressed .
