Long ‘e’ sound
You can make long ‘ e ‘ words with these
letters:
ee ea ey ie and a few with magic e
But we are going to look at ‘ee’ and ‘ea’
words mostly.
The long ‘e’ sound is usually in the middle of
the word:
But what
s eed
beach
chie f
about tree,
free, bee,
see or me?
Hey – have you
forgotten
about tea, or
sea?
But with ‘ey’, the long ‘e’ sound is usually at
the end..
m onk ey
So let’s see if you can spell some long ‘e’
words:
Is it ee?
t _ _ cher
sp__d
cr__king
pl__se
k__
Is it ea?
Maybe it’s ie?
Or perhaps ey?

You just have to learn what the
word looks like and remember it.
There are no rules for long ‘e’!!!!
