🐝 Practise this list 📣 Pronouncer

Bee Practice says each word, then a sentence where there is one, and you pick the right spelling from three boxes. No typing. Two first-try rights and a word is spelled for good on this device. Running a bee? Pronouncer mode shows each word for a grown-up to read, and prints cards.

Vowel teams

The same sound can have two teams: ai inside a word and ay at the end, oi inside and oy at the end, ou inside and ow at the end.

How this list was made: The vowel-team weeks of the K–8 teachers' 1st, 2nd and 3rd grade lists.

These are Peabody's own words, built from our grade word banks. They are not the Scripps School Spelling Bee Study List, which belongs to Scripps and is given to enrolled schools.
