About the word list: Short /i/ spelled y: set 2

Here’s the rewritten version with more examples from your list: The short /i/ sound is the vowel you hear in words like sit and bin. It's made by placing your tongue near the front of your mouth, with your lips staying relaxed. This sound is brief and sharp, unlike the long /i/ sound in words like tree, where the tongue is higher and the sound is held longer.

In many English words, the short /i/ sound is spelled with the letter i. However, in words of Greek origin, the letter y often represents this sound. Some examples include gym, myth, lyric, and crystal. Other words that use this spelling pattern include system, oxygen, physics, and symbol.

These activities will help you practise recognising and spelling words where y represents the short /i/ sound, such as hymn, syrup, symptom, and typical.

You get an awful lot for your money with Spellzone. Really reassuring is the very prompt response with helpdesk queries. I've very rarely needed the helpdesk, but when I have, the issue has been addressed and sorted within a very short time."
