The i-e spelling pattern is commonly used to represent the long /i/ sound in English. By adding an e at the end of a word, you create this distinctive pronunciation - remember an e at the end of a word makes the vowel say its name. This i-e pattern is found in many words across the English language and is a helpful way to identify and spell words that have the long /i/ sound.
Here are a couple of examples:
hide – We can play hide and seek.
time – There's no time to waste.
Familiarising yourself with this pattern can make it easier to identify and spell words correctly.

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.
