Ee And Ea Sounds

Since EE and EA often come in the middle of words, it can be tricky to know which spelling to use… I always get excited to learn new spelling tricks and this one from @yourreadingteacher is pure teaching gold! 😍 If the word fits in the “nature” category, it’s typically spelled EE like in these words: TREE BEE SHEEP DEER GREEN But it’s likely spelled EA if 1️⃣ the word has to do with water or something wet like the words: SEA BEACH LEAK STREAM Or 2️⃣ if the word’s about food/eating: TEA MEAT FEA
