Sharpen your spelling skills with this interactive test.
The short /e/ sound can be spelled with the letters ea, as seen in the words ready and steady. Even though there are two letters, they combine to make one an e sound like in the word red. In this list, words like feather, weather, and measure follow this rule. Spotting this pattern will help you with both reading and spelling.

One of the students has put in a huge amount of effort in completing Spellzone at least 3 times a week since his arrival with us in January. Looking at his scores after the latest GL testing, his standardised score has risen from 99 to 131. This is a truly phenomenal result. I just wanted to share the best result I have ever seen.
