    MORE "MAGIC E" WORDS
    1.  Read the following story. Then highlight or underline the
    words which use a magic e.

    Dave rode his bike down the slope. He was going far too fast
    so he put on his front brake. This was a bad mistake as the
    front wheel locked and he was thrown over the handlebars.
    He landed face-first among some stones.  He was quite dazed
    and for a moment he didn't know where he was.

    A neighbour phoned for an ambulance and it soon arrived. At
    the hospital they decided that he had a broken nose and they
    gave him an ice pack to reduce the swelling.

    Dave's Mum picked him up from the hospital and drove him
    home. "You had a lucky escape," she said. "You need to be
    much more careful in the future."
