What children learn in Level 25

When two vowels go walking, the first one often does the talking! In feet, e and e make a long e sound.
E and a make the same long e sound: leaf, peach, beach.
Ee and ea sound the same, so you have to learn which words use which: tree, bee, sheep, but seal, bean, tea.
Your turn! Spell bee. The ee is one tile!
Your turn! Sort the words by their vowel team.
