Soft g: ge, gi and gy words

In this unit, you have learned about the soft g sound /j/:

Think back - help with spelling rules
  • The soft /j/ sound can be produced by the letter j or g
  • At the end of words, it is almost always spelled with the letters ge
  • Before vowels a, o and u, the sound is usually spelled with the letter j
  • Before vowels e, i and y, the sound is usually spelled with the letter g
  • If you are adding a suffix that begins with e, i and y to a root word that ends ge, drop the e
  • If you are adding a suffix that begins with a, o or any consonant, keep the e.

The Spellzone interactive course is intended to be used online and may not be printed.

"Spellzone fits in beautifully with our Scope and Sequence of Phonological Awareness and Spelling. It also aligns perfectly with the four areas of spelling knowledge and uses the Brain, Ears, Eyes approach to learning spelling."
Thank you!
