Unit 32: Spelling the word endings et, ot, ate or ite

Often, the spellings et, ot, ate and ite at the ends of words create a similar sound. The vowel in each can make the schwa sound /Ə/ (Unit 24), so, placed with the /t/ in each, the final syllable says /Ət/:

"Thank goodness for Spellzone during this remote learning phase. The site is easy for students to navigate independently and they're really enjoying the activities and spelling games. You get an awful lot for your money with Spellzone. Really reassuring is the very prompt response with helpdesk queries. I've very rarely needed the helpdesk, but when I have, the issue has been addressed and sorted within a very short time."
