The Alienby Julie Holder

The Alien was as round as the moon,

Five legs he had,

And his ears played a tune.

His hair was pink,

And his knees were green,

He was the funniest thing I’d ever seen.

As he danced out the door,

Of his strange spacecraft,

He looked and me -

And laughed and laughed!

Read all of the words below.

If you can print this page, colour the ‘ea’ words red and colour the ‘ee’ words green.

If you cannot print this page, have a little chat about these words.

Can you see which words have the ‘ea’ sound and which words have the ‘ee’ sound?
