About these printable resources: Short /e/ spelled ea: set 1

The short /e/ sound is often spelled with ea, as in head or bread. Although ea includes two letters, it makes the same sound as the e in words like bed. From your list, examples like meanth, spread, and breath all follow this pattern. Keep an eye out for ea words - soon you’ll recognise them easily in both reading and spelling.

"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."
