This pack introduces children to words containing short y, such as yes and funny, and long y, such as my and python. When learning to read, children need to recognise that the letter y can be said differently in different words. Learning to distinguish between the short and long y sounds will help children read unfamiliar words more accurately.
Children will read the short story about how Sam behaves at school. It includes lots of words containing long y and short y, giving children plenty of opportunity to practise reading these words in context. Read the story several times to help your child become familiar with these words and how they are said. Afterwards, there is a cut-out activity where children match individual words and phrases containing long y and short y to the pictures.
This pack is useful for children who are learning to read words with these sounds, as well as children who need extra practice. Repeated reading will help children become more confident at recognising these letter patterns, choosing the correct sound and reading the words more easily and fluently.
The story is taken from the fifth book in our Learn To Read With Phonics reading scheme. We have split the book into separate resources for those looking for extra help in a particular area. To purchase the complete book, click here.
