ie Words
This month, my little girl has been working on two new sounds.
Unfortunately, both are spelled ie.
And to become a good reader, you have to know when and how to use them.
Theie words phonics worksheet pdffile will open in a new window for you to store your freebie.
Think about words like pie, lie, and tie.
The y and the ie make the long i sound.
Long e
Now for how these two little letters make the long e sound.
We first see the long e occur when it is in the middle root word.
And it occurs the most often when that root word ends in ld, f, or ve.
You have heard that long e sound in words like grief, piece, and shield.
And there is one more way and I think this is the most confusing for our little ones.
Not to make you hungry, but cookie and brownie are great examples.
Only after spending two weeks on them separately, did I attempt this.
If it is the long i sound they place the word under the whole pie.
If it makes the long e sound, they place it under the piece of pie.
It is that easy.
