A 10-day plan · ages 5 to 8

Cap to Cape

The goal: on day 10 your child looks to the end of a word for a silent e, and reads words like cake, kite and hope never seen before.

For the child who reads short words like cat and hop, but reads cape as cap and stops at rain and boat. About five minutes a day from you.

That is the goal, not a promise. Some children have silent e in a week, and some need the ten days twice. The plan teaches silent e well, and three pairs of vowels: ee, ai and oa.

From cap to cape

Today
cape

“cape” read as “cap.” The e is not seen.

Day 10
cape

The end first. Then the long sound, and the word.

Your child reads cap. Then one letter is added, and the word is read as cap again, or not at all. That does not mean your child is not trying. Until now every letter made its sound, in order. A silent e sits at the end, makes no sound, and changes the sound in the middle. So this plan teaches one new habit: look at the end first.

This is the day 2 track your child works with. It waits, then gives the answer. Nothing listens back.

Step one is different

First, find where to start

Not every child who is stuck on long vowels is stuck in the same place. Day 1 is a four-minute check that shows you which day to start on.

🤫Silent e is new

Reads the word as if the e was not there. Start at day 2.

cape → “cap”
Silent e is steady

Reads cake and home, but stops at two vowels together. Start at day 6.

rain → ?
✅Reads them all

Go to the story on day 9, then do the final check.

Short words are hard

Short words like cap and hop come first. The blending plan is the place to start.

Your result tells you which day to start on, or that your child needs the blending plan first. No starting at page one for no reason.

Day 5Halfway checkTen words, with the e and without it. It tells you to go on, or to go back three days.
Day 10Nothing seen beforeNew silent e words, new two-vowel words and two new sentences. You mark them yourself.

It starts from a word your child can already read, and adds one letter: cap, then cape. One vowel a day. Then the words are mixed, so your child has to look. Only then come three pairs of vowels, one a day: ee, ai and oa.

Everything in your pack

What you get to reach it

It is more than worksheets. It is the pages, someone showing you each day, and a voice that works with your child while you stay nearby.

22 pagesA day pageAnother day page
The book

Ten days of pages with the hand-drawn Sound It Out friends. A dot under a quick sound, a line under a long sound, and the silent e printed in gray. Color and ink-saving black and white, US Letter and A4.

A video for every day

About a minute each. You see what to do before you do it, with the real short and long sound of each vowel. With captions.

4 tracks🎧
Sound tracks for your child

On days 2, 3, 4 and 6. Press play and stay nearby. The voice says what to do, waits, then says each word so your child can check it alone.

The day 1 and day 10 checks

Day 1 shows which day to start on. Day 10 uses only words and sentences your child has never seen, so a good memory does not pass.

Your child lays it at the end of a short word and reads the new word: cap, cape. Take it away, and it is cap again. The change is in their own hands.

Three words read to you. One star colored.

“With your grown-up, 2 minutes” is printed on every page. Days 1, 5 and 10 are checks, and those need you for the whole page. A young child may need you nearby on other days too. If a day is easy, do the next one. If a day is hard, do it again tomorrow.

What this is not

It is not a promise. Some children have silent e in a week. Some need the ten days twice. It does not cover every long vowel spelling: it teaches silent e with a, i, o and u, and three pairs of vowels, ee, ai and oa. Other spellings, such as ea, ay, ow and igh, come after it. It is not a test for dyslexia. If your child is seven or older, or finds reading very hard in other ways too, tell the teacher too. It is not an app, and your child does not need a screen. If your child cannot yet read short words like cap and hop, the blending plan comes first, and the free check tells you so. You need a printer and scissors.

Questions

Do I need a printer?

Yes. The pages are made to be printed once, on plain paper. The black-and-white copy uses very little ink.

Why does my child read cape as cap?

Because that is how reading has worked so far: each letter makes its sound, from left to right. A silent e is the first letter that makes no sound and changes another letter. Your child has to look at the end of the word before saying the middle of it. That is a new habit, and it takes practice. It is not a lack of effort.

Is silent e the same as magic e?

Yes. Some schools say magic e, and some say bossy e. They all mean the e at the end of words like cake, bike and home. It makes no sound, and the vowel before it says its name.

Does it teach all the long vowels?

No, and it does not try to. In ten short days it teaches silent e with a, i, o and u, and then three pairs of vowels: ee, ai and oa. Other spellings, such as ea, ay, ow and igh, come after this plan.

How old should my child be?

Most children who need this are five to eight. Your child should already read short words like cat, hop and sit, even slowly. The free check shows you whether that step is steady.

How much of my time does it take?

About two minutes at the start of each day’s page, and a minute at the end when your child reads three things to you. Day 1 and day 10 are checks of about four minutes each.

What if my child cannot do a day?

Stop, and do the same page again tomorrow. A day done twice is not a day lost. The halfway check on day 5 tells you whether to go on or go back.

What comes after the ten days?

You can stop there. If you want daily practice to keep going, The One Sheet gives your child one sheet a day, made from what you tell us. It is a separate plan, $9.99 a month, and you can cancel any time.

Does anything record my child?

No. Nothing in this pack watches, listens to or records your child. You are the one who listens.

How do I get the videos and sound tracks?

The “start here” page of the book has a code to scan with your phone, and a short link. They open in your browser. There is nothing to install.

What if it is not right for us?

Write to hello@sounditoutreading.com within 30 days of buying and we will refund you. You do not need to give a reason, and you keep the pages.
