About these handwriting worksheets: ay words - set 1

In the world of phonics, understanding the relationship between letters and their sounds is a crucial step towards becoming a confident reader and speller. As you spend more time practising your spelling, you will start to notice the same letter combinations come up again and again to spell particular sounds.

The combination of the letters a and y in words creates the distinctive long /a/ sound, which is like the /a/ sound you hear the words play, stay, and day.

There six different ways to spell the long /a/ sound, but luckily the ay spelling is most-often used at the end of the word. This means that if you hear a word which ends in a long /a/ sound, the ay spelling will be a safe bet in most cases.
