Today’s question is, “Teacher, can you explain the ‘i before e except after c’ rule?”

Yes - there’s a little rhyme that we often use to remember whether to spell words with IE or EI, and it goes: “I before E except after C, or when sounding like A as in neighbor and weigh.”

Let’s look at the words that follow this rule… and the exceptions to it!
