Skill: -y (long e spelling pattern)

The vowels are: a-e-i-o-u- and sometimes y.
When y functions as a vowel it:
     a) concludes a word which has no other vowel (my)
     b) concludes words of more than one syllable (happy)
     c) immediately follows another vowel (may, monkey).

Read the words listed below. Note spelling pattern (-y) at the end of each word. When (-y) appears at the end of a word that has at least two syllables, it usually has the long (e) sound.

Read the words listed below.

baby	envy	jolly	puppy
belly	filly	Kelly	rusty
bunny	foggy	lady	silly
candy	funny	lilly	skinny
Carly	golly	lucky	study
creepy	happy	mommy	tally
daddy	hungry	party	ugly
easy	jelly	penny	windy

Can you think of some additional two syllable words that end with the letter “-y” that have the long “e” sound.
