Vowel Team - "ea" and "ee" workbook

EA & EE Word Family Workbook

Two teams. One sound. No confusing rules to memorise!

Does your child know that ea and ee can both make the long e sound, but still gets confused about which spelling to use?

This workbook takes a different approach.

Instead of asking children to memorise complicated rules, they learn ea and ee words through word families, one family at a time. The workbook gradually builds familiarity with the spelling patterns so children can recognise and remember them through repeated, meaningful practice. ea_ee_Word_Family_Workbook

📚 What's inside?

Part 1 – The EA Families
Explore 9 different ea word families through reading, tracing, writing and Sound Hunt activities.

Part 2 – The EE Families
Learn 9 ee word families using the same systematic approach, helping children build confidence without mixing the two spellings too early. ea_ee_Word_Family_Workbook

🔎 Sound Hunts
Children practise finding words, spotting the correct spelling, sorting words, unscrambling letters and identifying patterns.

🧩 Twin Sort
Once both teams are familiar, children bring ea and ee side by side and sort words according to their spelling patterns. ea_ee_Word_Family_Workbook

👯 Twin Words
Children explore words that have the same sound but different meanings, such as see/sea, meet/meat, week/weak and peek/peak. ea_ee_Word_Family_Workbook
