About these handwriting worksheets: y words

In English, the long /e/ is an open stretched-out way of pronouncing vowels. Imagine saying be, tree, or sheep slowly – that's the sound. This sound is written in different ways, but when it's at the end of a word, we often use the letter y to spell it.

You might notice that sometimes this sound isn't very strong. In some cases, it might even sound like the short /i/ sound you hear in words like sit. This happens because pronunciations sometimes vary depending on accent.

If you're not sure what the long /e/ sounds like, you can click the speaker icon to listen to examples. It's important to understand how this sound works to improve your understanding of English and spelling.
