Learn To Spell Words With ‘ea’ And More Tricky Middle Sounds 7-11 years - Activity Pack (1)

Designed for children aged 7 to 11, this activity pack focuses on mastering the spelling of words with the tricky middle sound 'ea', which can be quite the chameleon in English pronunciation. The pack features Zoggy's sixth challenge, where the 'ea' sound disguises itself in various words, prompting learners to identify and spell them correctly. For instance, the 'ea' in 'ready' sounds different to the 'ea' in 'heart', illustrating the sound's versatility and the need for careful listening and practice.

The activities are interactive and engaging, encouraging children to explore words like 'treat', 'wear', and 'break', all of which contain the 'ea' sound but are pronounced differently. To further enrich their vocabulary and spelling skills, the pack includes a 'READ COPY COVER & SPELL' section with a list of words to practice. These range from simple terms like 'friend' and 'field' to more complex ones such as 'seaside' and 'creature'. The pack also touches on the classic spelling rule 'I' before 'E' except after 'C', but it cleverly notes that this only applies when the sound is like 'ee'. This comprehensive approach ensures that learners not only memorise spellings but also understand the nuances of English pronunciation.
