Click here to learn about 'Y' as a vowel. The rules around when the letter Y is a vowel are tricky concepts to learn; for most students, knowing that 'Y' is sometimes a vowel is enough at this age. For those that are ready for a bit more, this video explains the rules.
Common blends and digraphs
In this video, Mrs. Johnson teaches us common blends and digraphs. These are great to practice time and time again. As you practice, they will help you become a more fluent reader by decoding unfamiliar words using the letter-sound patterns you learned!

Vowel teams, digraphs, and dipthongs
Join Mrs. Johnson in learning dipthongs, vowel teams, and more digraphs through their sounds and with actions! As with the above videos, practicing these will help you become a more fluent reader. You can re-enforce learning by going on a hunt for the letter-sound patterns around the house on packaging, in magazines, books, etc.
