Some words in English use ei to spell the long /a/ sound. These words include familiar terms like reins, veil, eight, and freight. In these words, ei creates a sound similar to the long /a/ as in day.
Here are a couple of examples:
reins – You use reins to control a horse.
veil – A veil is a piece of cloth worn by brides over their face.
These words follow a common pattern but may still seem tricky, so it's helpful to practice them.

"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."
