Year 1 English More Ways to Write a Sound: lesson and practice

By the end of this chapter you will be able to

• Read and spell words with a split e, such as cake, these, bike, nose and cube
• Say which vowel says its name in a split digraph
• Know that one sound can be spelled in more than one way, such as ay and ai
• Choose the right spelling for a word I know
• Read a longer word by reading its parts, then joining them

You should already know

• Two letters that make one sound: ai, ee, igh, oa, oo, ow, oi (Chapter 2)
• Single letter sounds and letter names (Chapter 1)

Where this leads

• Tricky words that do not follow the usual sounds (Chapter 4)
• Adding endings to words, such as -s, -ing and -ed (Chapter 5)
