This week we are going to learn 3 ways to spell the long e with vowel teams ei, ie and ey. Vowel teams occur most often in old Anglo-Saxon words whose pronunciations have changed over hundreds of years. This is why English spelling can sometimes be difficult because we have multiple ways to spell the same sound.
