The most common way to spell a long e sound is with the letter "e".
Here are some examples:
* Words ending in "e":
* be, me, she, he, we, see, tree, free, bee, these, those, please
* Words with "ee":
* feet, sleep, deep, jeep, keep, feel, peel, need, green, seen
* Words with "ea":
* team, read, dream, scream, meat, heat, bread, clean, plead, reach
* Words with "ey":
* they, grey, key, obey, monkey, donkey, turkey, sleigh, whey, prey
But it gets more complex! The long e sound can also be spelled with:
* "ie":
* believe, chief, field, piece, niece, brief, shield, yield, priest
* "ei":
* receive, deceive, ceiling, weird, seize, conceive, relieve
* "y":
* baby, happy, cry, sky, fly, try, dry, buy, my, why
Remember: There are some words that are tricky and don't follow these rules, like "people" and "said".
