Lesson 19 Vowel Pattern (ee, -e)

Skill: long (e) spelling patterns (ee) and (-e)

Long vowel rule: When two vowels go walking the first one does the talking, (it says its name) the second vowel does the walking, (it is silent).

Read the words listed below.

bee	feel	peel	sheep
beef	feet	peep	sheet
beep	fleet	peewee	sleep
beet	free	queen	steel
beetle	glee	reed	street
bleed	green	reef	sweep
cheek	heed	reel	sweet
creek	heel	see	teen
creep	jeep	seed	teeth
deed	keep	seek	thee
deep	meet	seem	three
feed	need	seen	week
fee	peek	seep	wheel

When a one syllable short word ends with a vowel, it has a long vowel sound. (me)

she

Write two sentences. You must include words that have the long (e) spelling pattern,(ee) or (-e). Your writing should reflect good penmanship, proper spacing, and correct usage of upper and lowercase letters. Remember all sentences begin with a capital letter and end with a period (.), question mark (?), or exclamation point (!).
