- The letter 'Y' can function as both a consonant and a vowel.
- When 'Y' is at the end of a word or syllable and makes a vowel sound, it typically represents either the long E sound (/ē/) or the long I sound (/ī/).
- In words like "baby," "many," "puppy," "silly," "lucky," and "copy," the 'Y' at the end makes the long E sound (/ē/).
- In words like "my," "shy," "spy," and "by," the 'Y' at the end makes the long I sound (/ī/).
- For the fill-in-the-blank words, the correct letters to complete them with the appropriate vowel sound are:
- happy (long E)
- lucky (long E)
- silly (long E)
- copy (long E)
- fly (long I)
- shy (long I)
- cry (long I)
- body (long E)
- spy (long I)
