Focus : the ‘ee’ sound in different way

This week, we’ve been looking at how the long ‘ee’ sound can be written with quite a few different graphemes (letters).

Your child has a sheet with all the different ways in your book. For each different grapheme, find three words to go with it. Then write down five sentences using your choice of the words.
