We learned that thousands of two-syllable words end in just a y.

And when it is atwo-syllable word, that ymakes the long e sound.

(In one-syllable words, the y makes the long i sound.)

Though thousands of words use y at the end of the word to make the long e sound, sometimes “ey” can be used. This simple game is a fun way to work on words that end in “ey” and make the long e sound with kindergartners and grade 1 students.

We worked hard on reading and spelling words like baby, every, memory, and candy.

We have also learned that sometimes a word will end with the letter e when using an open syllable.

And occasionally,eewill be used at the end of the word to make the long e sound.

This game is super easy to prepare.  First, print off the game boards that meet the needs of your students. I recommend using card stock paper for extra durability.  Next, you will need to make a spinner. This can be as easy as a paper clip and pencil or as fancy as a store-bought spinner.

Three, agree, coffee, and employee are just a few examples.
