About this test list: ei saying /ay/

These ei words do not follow the rule i before e except after c. This is because they have the long /a/ sound.

This list includes words like weigh, freight, and neighbour, which show how the letters ei can be pronounced as /ay/ in certain cases. These words may look tricky at first, but once you learn the pattern, they will become easier to spell. To help you with these words, try a Listen and Spell test.
