This week we’re revisiting one of the most important spelling rules: drop the ‘y’ for an ‘i’. All the words in the list are adjectives that end in a ‘y’. When they are changed into adverbs you need to drop the ‘y’ for an ‘i’ before adding ‘ly’.
Children will be tested on eight out of the 10 words on Friday 18 May.
