Words with ei, eigh and eyUse and applyTask A: Long a phoneme spotterRead pupils the following passage. Ask them to listen out for the long a sound. Agree a way of themshowing when they hear it, e.g. standing up for a moment.Gratefully, the eight children ate their cake. They were so hungry! It was late and their new neighbourhad forgotten to say that she would be delayed. Now they felt great as they travelled through a thinveil of light rain on the freight train. It would not be the same living in Spain, but they knew they hadto obey their parents. It would be like a great holiday and was well worth the wait.Then give pupils the passage and ask them to highlight the words containing the long a sounds. If they areunsure of any meanings, discuss them.Task B: Other ways to make the long aStarting with the words in the phoneme spotter in Task A, ask pupils to find the words with the long asound that are spelt with ei, eigh or ey. Then ask them to write a list of these words, grouped under theheadings ei, eigh and ey. Later, they can add other words from their reading books.Remind pupils that there are other ways of spelling long a, and that ei, eigh and ey are just three of them.Task C: Same sound, different meaningShow pupils some words that sound exactly the same and that contain the long a sound but with adifferent spelling. Explain that these are called homophones (covered in more detail in the next topic), e.g.:reign–rein–rain, vein–vain, weigh–way, veil–vale, ate–eight. (Include the last pair only if you pronounce ‘ate’to rhyme with ‘eight’.)Model writing a sentence using each of the first set of homophones in the correct context. Explain thedifferences between each word you write, e.g.:It was the last day of his reign and he held tightly to the reins as the horse trotted proudly throughthe rain.Pupils should use a dictionary (or have a class discussion) to help them discover or check the meaning of theother homophones given above.Finally, pupils attempt to write sentences containing both homophones from a pair. (This can be doneindividually, or in pairs with partners helping each other and checking.) 2015 Keen Kite Books, an imprint of HarperCollinsPublishers Ltd. You may photocopy this page.25
