How do I teach DD how to spell SAID?

[Hulababy]

5yo DD has 10 spellings to learn this week, mainly simple CVC words using "E2, plus wett (easy enough to sound out too).

The final two are when and said.

Now WHEN we have talked about - a silent H - not sure if she will remember, or remember where the silent H goes.

But what about SAID. The "ai" isn't the normal "ay" sound, but "e". But how to get it to stick for her?

Any tricks of the trade?

uqd if you want them to speak proper you have to move down south. you're fighting a losing battle.

My dp has the opposite problem for ages ds would say dook to him and duck to me now its all duck, bath to rhyme with laugh etc. HA HA HA
