The Many Jobs of y, Part 1 Booklet

Description:

The letter y has three different jobs: /y/ in yes, /ī/ in fly and /ē/ in happy. This booklet teaches each job one at a time, then mixes them so your child knows which sound to try.

What's inside:

• 8 short lessons: y at the start, y at the end of short words, y at the end of longer words, y after an open part, /ī/ or /ē/?, y in longer words, then two lessons that mix all three jobs
• The same steps as the Pulling Together books, so the lessons feel familiar
• 8 stories about life on our Colorado farm, featuring the animals from the series
• A sort game for telling the patterns apart
• A one-page Roll and Read check at the end, with "Still tricky?" pointers back to the right lesson
• A parent guide and contents page

Who it's for: Children who have finished Book 2 of Pulling Together, or any reader who needs extra practice with this pattern. It works well for parents, tutors and teachers. It uses the dyslexia-friendly design of the main books: clear print, extra spacing, and marks for long vowels and silent letters.

Format: PDF download, 60 pages, US Letter. Print one lesson at a time at home. (Many local libraries offer free or low-cost printing.)

For use with the children in one family, or by one tutor with their own students. Classroom licenses are available separately.
