What is a Long E Word?

The long e sound is part of 5 long vowel sounds: a, e, i, o, and u. All of these ‘long’ vowel sounds say their name, unlike short vowel sounds. Long e says /e/ as in “me”. There are several spelling patterns of long vowel ‘e’ sounds including ee, ea, e, y, ey, and ie. All of our posters and charts include examples to help kids identify long a sounds easily.

The “e” long sound is an open syllable, which is any syllable that ends with a vowel. For long e sounds, an example includes “we” with the e sound or “ey” as in key with the ending sound of -ey.
