Some examples: beech* |
Some examples: each |
Some examples: here* |
Note: Some examples: angry |

Notes: 1) Words marked * are homophones. See page 12. 2) Some words use ie to spell the long /ē/ sound, eg. chief, believe. These ie words are in Unit 21. |

The Spellzone interactive course is intended to be used online and may not be printed.
"Spellzone fits in beautifully with our Scope and Sequence of Phonological Awareness and Spelling. It also aligns perfectly with the four areas of spelling knowledge and uses the Brain, Ears, Eyes approach to learning spelling."
