The English language contains thousands of 5 letter words. Here’s an interesting fact: the most frequently used letter in a 5-letter word is the letter ‘a’. The second and third most frequent letters are ‘e’ and ‘r.’ The least frequent letter in a 5-letter word? That would be the letter ‘q.’ I’m sure it will come as no surprise to anyone who has lost a game of scrabble, unable to get rid of the q’s still on the rack.

Five-letter words are the fourth most common word length (after 3-letter words, 2-letter words and 4-letter words). Although there are so many 5-letter words in the English language, we only use a small percentage of them in our daily lives. The most used 5-letter word in the English language (using Google’s book data) is the word “which”. The second most used word is “their”.

There are many 5-letter words that we never come across – not in written content or in our daily conversations. This makes puns more challenging. When you look at 5 random letters, no combination seems to make sense to you. And even if there might be a word there, you might never know. That’s why it’s useful to have a list handy sometimes, to refer to the next time you’re stuck on a word. Here is a comprehensive list of 5-letter words ending in ie. The long i sound can be difficult to learn as it has several different ways of spelling it.

In open syllables, the long i sound is represented by just the letter i by itself. Most of these will be 2 or more syllable words, such as e.g

I alone can also make the long i sound when it comes before two consonants, as in the words

How To Teach The Long I Sound

The i silent e spelling pattern is very common and one of the first students to learn. Of course, students must be confident about the magic syllable. These words are usually one syllable, and the long i sound will be in the middle of a base word or syllable. Some examples of long i-words with silent e are

The igh spelling pattern is another common representation of the long i sound. This spelling pattern appears in the middle of a base word or syllable. Some examples are

When the long i sound is at the end of a base word, the most common way to spell it is with a y. Examples include:

When you start teaching the long vowel sounds, really focus on spelling generalizations, homophones and homographs. Learn one spelling pattern at a time, and when one is mastered you can add another. It is much easier to learn to read these than to learn to spell. Since they all sound the same and can appear in the same place, it can be difficult to choose the correct spelling pattern.

One rule you can learn is that English words do not end in i. So students should know that words that end with a long i sound will not be spelled with just i. There are a few exceptions, most of which are foreign words (

Once students are familiar with all the options for spelling long i and they know open syllables and the silent e syllable, you can teach them the process of determining the spelling pattern a word has.

When students come across a word with a long in and they need to figure out which spelling pattern to choose, here are the questions they can ask:

This will take some practice, so try going through a set of words with the students a few times, then let them do some more on their own. This is the same process they will use with other long vowel sounds, so it is a great skill for them to have.

I Before E And E Before I Words

Because there are multiple options, also expect students to make mistakes sometimes, and tell them this! It’s ok if they make a mistake as long as it’s another valid spelling option and not something that doesn’t follow any rules. Through repeated exposure and practice, they will eventually internalize the correct spelling pattern for words.

Phoneme Graphem Mapping – This is a great activity that really isolates the phonograms for students to practice. You can get the Phonics & Spelling Through Graphheme Mapping book and follow the long i-lesson, or use my word list to do the same activity using sound boxes. See below for an example from my Long I Word Work set.

Sorting – Sorting is always a good idea when you have multiple spelling options. You can play matching games like memory, just sort them into piles/columns, or make any game that requires sorting by spelling pattern. This builds phonemic awareness, so it’s always a good activity for all students.

SOS – If you don’t already know what Simultaneous Oral Spelling is, check out this post here. I love this multi-sensory spelling method for practicing spelling. And you can do this whole class or one on one, making it very easy to use in any environment.

Picture Cards – Create visual graphics of difficult words, homophones and homographs. These visual cues really help students remember which pattern to use. I suggest making these using index cards and keeping them in a baggie or box for reference. See an example below (it sounds too long, but you get the idea).

Games – Of course I always include games because it’s so easy to add a stack of flashcards to any game and make it educational! Use an easy-to-play board game where students have to pick up a card on their turn and add a task such as reading the word aloud and sorting it, or asking another player to spell it, or even something like as simple as having them spell words after reading it aloud. Or print a teacher-made game here.

Dictation – This is another fantastic activity, but I would do this after you have spent some time on the long because it is more difficult for the students. Also, when dictating words, give students a clue about the spelling, such as telling them it’s a vowel team or open syllable.

Constant Review – Remember to keep these spelling patterns in constant review after they are learned so they are not forgotten. Using a sound wall is a great way to do this without taking any extra time.

Phoneme segmentation is a fundamental skill for reading and writing. It is important to start learning phoneme segmentation skills early so that children can develop this skill before it becomes more difficult to learn. Mastering phoneme segmentation helps readers break apart sounds in a word, blend them together, and read! Here are five activities you can do…

Digraphs are another area many of my students struggle with. They either have trouble pronouncing them, or they struggle to see the digraph as one sound and continue to verbalize both letter sounds when reading. Some students really struggle to visualize digraphs as one sound and will continue to sound out each letter in a…

Many struggling readers lack automaticity, which prevents them from becoming fluent readers with good comprehension. Automaticity is what allows us to do things without consciously thinking about them. And when it comes to reading and spelling, automaticity means being able to read and spell words quickly and accurately without having to stop
