Teaching Children About the Ending "Y" Words

About this time we'll start to introduce Y at the end of the word. Now what sound does Y make, ask your child? Yyy, a sound like that. However, at the end of a word it makes the sound ey and so we throw some words up there; happy, silly, snappy. Now the first thing as soon as you teach them out the ey sound at the end, teach them about the double consonants because they pop up a lot especially in words ending in Y. Teach them, they will want to say ha-p-p-y and you teach them when you see two consonants that are exactly the same together, you only say their sound once. So that will be happy, not ha-p-p-y and silly, not si-l-l-y. And the other thing to notice is you can start to throw in some other things that they've learned already. I put a blend if you noticed, sn is a blend; snappy. Go on like that, try to avoid words like crazy or words that use rules that you haven't learned yet like happily or anything that you can think of. Make sure that the vowels are still short vowels in each case.
