Have you heard of the 'i' before 'e' except after 'c' English spelling rule?
If you look closely at the words in this list, you will notice that they all include the spelling pattern ie to spell the long /e/ sound. You might also notice that none of these words have the letter ‘c’ directly before the ie pattern.
The 'i' before 'e' except after 'c' rule is a good way of getting started with spelling the long /e/ sound, but like with every spelling rule it has its exceptions!
Once you are confident with the words in the list, you can move onto rulebreakers and the six other ways to spell the long /e/ in English.
This word list was created by Spellzone. View more Spellzone course lists or curriculum word lists.

"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."
