About these printable resources: 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.

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.
