The long vowels are those you hear at the start of these words: |
Often, dictionaries will use a macron above the letter to mark the long vowels:
ā | ē | ī | ō | ū |
You can spell each long vowel sound in a number of ways.
This unit deals with the main ways of spelling each of these.
The Spellzone interactive course is intended to be used online and may not be printed.
"Spellzone is incredibly easy to access and caters for a wide range of abilities, which means you can use it throughout the school at a range of levels, making it fantastic value for money as a learning resource."
