This 'Sound ie' spelling quiz informs elementary school children of the other sound ‘ie’ can make, like in the word ‘chief’.

Sometime the letters ‘ie’ make an ‘e’ sound. This is one of those tricky sounds where you just need to try and say the word two ways (using both sounds, as an igh and then as an e) and see which one sounds like a word you’ve heard of before. Test your spellings on these ‘ie’ words.
