How do you spell pride?

Syllables: pride

Tricky part: The silent e at the end is what makes the vowel long; leave it off and the word no longer says pride. Pried sounds the same but is a different word, meaning looked nosily.

Watch out for: prid, priede

Memory tip: The silent e is a quiet helper at the end: it makes no sound of its own, but it makes the vowel before it say its name.
