ClassX Video Lessons Youtube Channel Smile and Learn English I BEFORE E EXCEPT AFTER C ????♀️ SPELLING AND GRAMMAR for Kids ???? Superlexia ⭐ Episode 9
Hello, friends! I am SuperLexia, your superhero for spelling and grammar. I love helping everyone use words correctly and make language fun. Today, we’re going to learn a cool spelling rule that can help you spell words correctly.
There’s a little rhyme to help us remember how to spell some words: “I before E, except after C, or when it sounds like A as in ‘neighbor’.” This means that when you see the letters I and E together in a word, I usually comes first. But if there’s a C before them, E comes first. Also, if the word sounds like it has an A, like in “neighbor,” E comes first too.
Let’s look at some examples to understand this better:
In the word “field,” I comes before E. This follows the rule! Other words like this are “friend,” “peace,” and “thief.”
In the word “ceiling,” there’s a C before the I and E, so E comes first. Another word like this is “receipt.”
In the word “eight,” it sounds like A, so E comes before I. Other words like this are “beige” and “weigh.”
Sometimes, words don’t follow this rule. Words like “weird” and “science” are a bit different. The best way to remember these tricky words is to practice and read a lot!
Now, let’s see how well you can spell. How do you spell these words: thief, receipt, and weird? Great job!
We’ve learned a lot today! If you want to learn more, check out more videos on the Smile and Learn educational channel. Learning can be fun and exciting!
Word Hunt: Go on a word hunt around your house or classroom. Look for items or objects that have names following the “I before E” rule. For example, you might find a “piece” of paper or a “ceiling” light. Write down the words you find and see how many you can collect. Can you find any exceptions to the rule?
Spelling Detective: Become a spelling detective and create a list of words that follow the rule and those that are exceptions. Use magazines, books, or even food labels to find words. Once you have your list, try to sort them into two groups: “Follows the Rule” and “Exceptions.” Share your findings with a friend or family member and see if they can add more words to your list.
Rhyme Time: Create a fun rhyme or song to help you remember the “I before E” rule. Use your imagination and include examples of words that follow the rule and those that don’t. Perform your rhyme or song for your class or family and see if they can learn the rule through your creative performance!
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:

Hello, citizens! I am SuperLexia, the guardian of spelling and grammar. I help make language excellent by following the rules. Let’s defeat spelling and grammar mistakes with the power of clear and impactful expression.
Today, we’re going to learn about a powerful spelling rule. This rhyme helps us to know the order of vowels in some words: “I before E, except after C, or when it sounds like A as in ‘neighbor’.”
Here’s the main idea: I before E when you’re writing a word with the letters I and E together. Most of the time, I comes before E, except after C. But here’s the twist: if there’s a C right before the I and E, you write the E first, or when it sounds like A, as in ‘neighbor.’
Let’s take a closer look with some more examples. In the word “field,” we see I before E. This follows the I before E part of the rule. Some other examples are “friend,” “peace,” and “thief.”
In the word “ceiling,” there’s a C, so you put the E before the I to follow the “except after C” part of the rule. Another word that follows this rule is “receipt.” In the word “we,” we hear the sound A, so we write E before I. This follows the last part of the rule. Some other words like it are “eight” and “beige.”
Now, here’s the important part: this rule works most of the time, but there are some exceptions. Some words don’t follow it, like “weird” or “science.” It’s a little tricky, so the best way to remember these words is to learn them by heart and read a lot.
Okay, citizens, now let’s put your spelling skills to the test! How do we spell these words?
