Changing ‘y’ to ‘i’ Word Search

Overview:

This word search helps students practise spelling words that change from a 'y' to an 'i' when adding the plural suffix '-es.' Students will identify and highlight words ending in '-ies.' Designed for students in year 4.

Learning Objectives:

• Identify words that change from ‘y’ to ‘i’ when pluralised.
• Develop spelling skills through identifying common word patterns.
• Enhance word recognition by searching for and highlighting specific word endings.

How the Activity Works:

Students are given a jumble of letters in the form of a word search. They need to find words that end in ‘-ies,’ such as "academies," "cries," "carries," and "daisies." As they search for these words, they reinforce their understanding of the rule for changing 'y' to 'i' when forming plurals. This activity helps students consolidate their spelling and word recognition skills in a fun and engaging way.
