How this list was compiled: Every line was written for this site on 2026-09-18 and read aloud for sense. No line is taken from a published sight word list or workbook, and the page claims no list or grade level for the word. Spellings were checked against the macOS system word list on 2026-09-18; friends is not in that list as a plural and was checked separately. The counts in the spot-the-word rows and the word counts of the sentences were worked out. That make is said with a long a and rhymes with take and cake, that it has no listed homophones, and that its past form is made, with maked marked dialectal or obsolete: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/make (pronunciation and verb forms, checked 2026-09-18). That a silent e at the end of a word typically moves the a before it to its long sound, and that the e once stood for a vowel that was spoken: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silent_e (checked 2026-09-18). That bees make honey is common knowledge and was not looked up. Licence: own work

Questions and answers

Why does my student write mak or maek for make?

Mak spells the three sounds the child hears and skips the silent letter. Maek knows there is an e and parks it beside the a. Write the row mak_ ma_e m_ke on the board. It asks for the e first.

Can make be sounded out?

Yes, once the pattern of a, one consonant, then e has been taught. Until then, teach it whole beside take and cake. Wiktionary lists no word that sounds the same, so there is no twin to confuse it with.

My student says maked. Is that a reading problem?

No. The child has learned that ed marks the past and is applying the rule to a word that breaks it. Say made back in a full sentence, then write the row make made make me on the board and ask for 2 circles.
