See if you can spell every word correctly in this Listen and Spell challenge.
i-e is a common way to spell the long /i/ sound in English. The pattern involves adding an e at the end of the word, following a consonant. This helps create the long /i/ sound, as in entire, require, and invite.
For example, in the word admire, the i is followed by an e to make the long /i/ sound. Similarly, desire and combine follow the same rule.
Try saying these words out loud and notice how the i-e pattern affects the pronunciation. Click on the speaker icon to hear the correct pronunciation!

"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."
