Challenge your spelling skills with the Listen and Spell activity.
The letter y in the middle of a word often represents the long /i/ sound, as in rhyme, style, and cycle. It can also appear in words with Greek or Latin roots, such as psychology and hygiene.
Notice how in psychology, the y in the middle makes a long /i/ sound, while the y at the end makes a short /i/ sound.
Why not try a spelling test to check your understanding of these words?

One of the students has put in a huge amount of effort in completing Spellzone at least 3 times a week since his arrival with us in January. Looking at his scores after the latest GL testing, his standardised score has risen from 99 to 131. This is a truly phenomenal result. I just wanted to share the best result I have ever seen.
