The 'Change Y' rule, part 2: |
A) If the suffix is ing or ish, do NOT change the y to i.
 |
|
 |
||||||
 |
 |
This is because English words do not have two i's together -
it wouldn't look right:
criing  copiing babiish |
crying  copying babyish |
B) If there is another vowel just before the y, do NOT change the
y to i.
|
|
|
||||||
|
|
Again, it wouldn't look right to have so many vowels together:
| plaied donkeies emploier |
played donkeys employer |

I have just finalised the progress of the year groups and am delighted to see that from December to June 53% of the 98 students using Spellzone have raised their standardised scores to 100 and above.
One of the students has put in a huge amount of effort in completing Spellzone at least 3 times a week since his arrival with us in January. Looking at his scores after the latest GL testing, his standardised score has risen from 99 to 131. This is a truly phenomenal result. I just wanted to share the best result I have ever seen.
