Looking at words will help you to remember how they are spelt.
Year 1 - The Sound ea (head)
This 'Sound ea (head)' spelling quiz will inform KS1 children of the other sound these two letters make. The ‘ea’ sound can make a sound like ‘ee’ as in ‘bead’ but can also make the ‘eh’ sound, as in ‘head’. This requirement of understanding is stipulated in the National Curriculum.
The letters ‘ea’ can make two different sounds; this test is on the ‘eh’ sound it makes – like in the word ‘head’. See how many spellings you know using words with ‘ea’.

Spell the missing word: He didn't mean that, he ____ he was sorry.

bead
bed
feed
beaz
The first and third answer are real words but they don't make the ea/eh sound. The word bed rhymes with head and so the 'e' makes the same sound!

heavie
heavy
When an elephant is born they weigh more than 200 pounds - that's heavier than most grown ups!
7 .
Spell the missing word: Have you ____ that book?

Read is like the word mean. You can say 'Read your book' and the 'ea' is an 'ee'. Or, with the same spelling, you can say 'He read his book', which sounds the same as the word 'red'.
