Today, we are learning to read words that contain
y
for /ee/.
‘y’ is an alternative grapheme for the
sound /ee/. Children will already be
familiar with the other alternative
graphemes for this sound: ‘ee’, ‘ea’,
‘e_e’ and the long vowel ‘e’.
X
Sometimes, we use
y
to make the /ee/ sound at the
end of words. Let’s say these examples:

This week, the ‘y’ grapheme will most
often be found at the end of words. It
can often be found at the end of adverbs
which will be covered in Level 6.
