List 7 Long Vowel /a/ spelled a, ai, a_e, ay.

Rule: [1] Long vowels say their name. [2] Double vowel: Most long vowel sounds need two letters. If a one-part word or syllable has 2 vowels, the first vowel usually stands for the long sound, and the second vowel is silent. [3] Silent e rule: If a word has one vowel at the end, it gives the first vowel a long sound.

This is a hands-on approach to spelling. First, practice making words with the sounds of letters.
