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:

s ee

But with ‘ey’, the long ‘e’ sound is usually at the end..monkey

But what about tree, free, bee, see or me?

Hey – have you forgotten about tea, or sea?

So let’s see if you can spell some long ‘e’ words:

t _ _ cherIs it ee? Is it ea? Maybe it’s ie? Or perhaps ey?

s p _ _ d c r _ _ k i n g

p l _ _ s ec h _ _ s e

t r _ _

k _ _ d i s _ _ s e

k n _ _

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