FREE Valentine’s-Themed Sort: The Two Sounds of Final Y

By thisreadingmama 6 Comments

Sorting words is a hands-on way to get kids focusing in on spelling patterns, which helps them not only become a better speller, but a better reader, too! Want to learn more about word study? You can read my 10 day series called, Teaching Spelling Through Word Study.

The Two Sounds of Final Y Word Sort

Here’s a Valentine’s Day themed word sort for the two sounds of final y (long i and long e) and is perfect for a child at the end of Within Word Patterns Stage or beginning of Syllables and Affixes Stage. It’s called MY CANDY HEARTS and here’s how it works:

 

word cards for final y word sort

Students sort these candy hearts (2 pages of hearts)

 

final sound of y head words

under the head words “my” and “candy”, then talk about the pattern they notice within these words (y on the end of a one-syllable word generally says the long i sound and y on the end of a two-syllable word generally makes the long e sound).
