My name is Mary. I live in a big house with my mom and dad and my two brothers. They are so naughty. My mom has to shout at them a lot. One day they hid Daddy’s keys. He was late for work. I think he wanted to smack them. But Mom said that they must wash his car for him. Dad said they must do it for a whole year.

Mom takes us to school. She does not go to work. She works in the house at home. I help her when I get home from school. We cook supper together. My brothers don’t help us. They just make a mess.

Mommy says she will just lie in bed one day to see what happens.

Let’s look at words

Remember the vowels A E I O U. Sometimes Y has to work as a vowel too. Find the words that end in “y”. Y does not make the same sound as when we begin a word like YOU. What is the sound it makes in the words you have found. List them in the box below.

Look at boy and key . They end in “y” but the “y” does not have the same sound. Can you think of a word to rhyme with each one?

The picture will help you.
