See if you can spell every word correctly in this Listen and Spell challenge.
The i-e spelling pattern is commonly used to represent the long /i/ sound in English. By adding an e at the end of a word, you create this distinctive pronunciation - remember an e at the end of a word makes the vowel say its name. This i-e pattern is found in many words across the English language and is a helpful way to identify and spell words that have the long /i/ sound.
Here are a couple of examples:
hide – We can play hide and seek.
time – There's no time to waste.
Familiarising yourself with this pattern can make it easier to identify and spell words correctly.

"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."
