A digraph is a combination of two letters that come together to represent a single sound. The a-e combination is known as a split digraph because the two letters are not next to each other in the word.
In the case of these words, the a-e indicates the long /a/ sound. This sound is different from the short /a/ sound we find in words like cat or hat. Whenever you see the a-e duo in a word, think of it as a clue to the word’s pronunciation. When you add the e to the end of the word, it makes the a say its name. You can click on the speak icons to hear the long /a/ sound in each of these words.
Watch out! There are six other ways to spell the long /a/ sound so use the spelling activities to get to grips with the a-e spelling pattern.

One of the students has put in a huge amount of effort in completing Spellzone at least 3 times a week since his arrival with us in January. Looking at his scores after the latest GL testing, his standardised score has risen from 99 to 131. This is a truly phenomenal result. I just wanted to share the best result I have ever seen.
