The i before e except after c when it sounds like "ee" rule

Grades: 5th Grade
Subjects: Multilingual Learners

Student Instructions

Hi everybody, The i before e rule has its share of controversy. However, it has served me well over the years and many of you failed to spell receive correctly in the recent spelling test. Therefore we would like you to complete the activity on the template attached. You should also be able to cite "i before e except after c when it sounds like ee" whenever asked by a team member or another student. People don't like this rule because they leave the "when it sounds like ee part off. Spelling #getaroundit
