Look at these words with ea: read, seat, and bread. Which word has a different ea sound than the other two?
Explanation: Bread has a short e sound, while read and seat both have a long e sound, so bread is different. Read uses the long e sound, matching the ea pattern in seat. Seat also uses the long e sound, so it matches read instead of standing out. Bread is the one word where ea makes a different, shorter sound than the other two.
The letters ea usually make the long e sound, like in "eat." But sometimes ea makes the short e sound, like in "bread." Which word has the short e sound?
Explanation: The word "head" uses the short e sound, unlike "leaf," "team," and "eat," which all use the long e sound. Choice A is wrong because leaf has the long e sound. Choice C is wrong because team has the long e sound. Choice D is wrong because eat has the long e sound. Knowing when ea makes a different sound helps readers pronounce new words correctly.

Explanation: Good has the oo sound like in book, a short sound made with rounded lips. Moon has the oo sound like in the word moon itself, a longer sound. Food also has the longer oo sound, like moon. Soon has that same longer oo sound too, so it does not match the sound in book.
