Have you heard of the 'i' before 'e' except after 'c' English spelling rule?
If you look closely at the words in this list, you will notice that they all include the spelling pattern ie to spell the long /e/ sound. You might also notice that none of these words have the letter c directly before the ie pattern.
The 'i' before 'e' except after 'c' rule is a good way of getting started with spelling the long /e/ sound, but like with every spelling rule it has its exceptions!
Once you are confident with the words in the list, you can move onto rulebreakers and the six other ways to spell the long /e/ in English.
Visit the word lists page to find thousands of other word lists, each with associated handwriting worksheets or sign up to create your own.
