Spelling Worksheet -

This lesson plan is over the rules of “ei” and “ie.” Students will have a worksheet to do.

First, you will copy the worksheet so

that each student can have a copy.

Then you can explain to the students that “i” comes before “e.” For example, “believe.”

When you have a “c” in the word, then “e” comes before “i.” For example, “receive.”

There is an exception. If the word sounds like “a” such as in “weigh,” then “e” comes before “i.”

After the students understand the concept, then you can hand out the worksheet for them to do independently. Worksheet - Spelling Rules - Using “i and e”
