The short /e/ sound is often spelled with ea, as in head or bread. Although ea includes two letters, it makes the same sound as the e in words like bed. From your list, examples like meanth, spread, and breath all follow this pattern. Keep an eye out for ea words - soon you’ll recognise them easily in both reading and spelling.
