Can you spell all the words correctly? e-e words. Try this test!
Some words in English spell the long /e/ sound by adding the letter e to the end of the word. This creates the pattern found in words like theme, scene, and evening. The e-e combination makes the vowel sound long, similar to the ee in see.
Here are two examples:
Theme – The family went to the theme park.
Scene – The picture showed a peaceful country scene.
Recognising this e-e pattern will help with spelling other words that contain this sound.

"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."
