Suffix Rules for Words Ending in 'y'

In this video, Sarah introduces a spelling rule for adding suffixes to words ending in 'Y'. The rule states that if a vowel precedes the 'Y', keep the 'Y' and add the suffix. If a consonant precedes the 'Y', change the 'Y' to 'I' before adding the suffix, unless the suffix starts with 'I'. Sarah provides examples and exceptions to the rule and introduces an interactive activity using flip cards to help students practice.
