ly For Reading Only
Your student may have already come across this ending but if they haven't now is a good time to practice it.
'ly' most commonly turns adjectives into adverbs e.g. bad into badly, but there are some exceptions. I never told this to young children in my whole teaching career, it's something they will learn later in grammar lessons, but I mention it out of interest.
Having just learnt that 'y' often pretends it is a vowel saying 'ee' then these words simply sound out.
Here are some words to practice - don't make a flashcard, there is no need. Write them one at a time on a blackboard or whiteboard for your student to read, and in another session, let them try writing some too.
For spelling use this week to revise the previously taught families. Choose some sentences to dictate.

Odd Words for reading and spelling: None
Dictation: Revise /y (ee)/:
It is very windy and rainy today. Tom is happy to stay inside with his leg up and read a good story. He has plenty of crusty toast with jam to eat.
Teaching Notes:
This lesson is for reading only. We will learn to spell these words in Level 2.
Note how in the first list we have added /ly/ to words we already have studied: bad; glad; cross; and hard. Maybe verbally you and your pupil can think of other examples e.g.: roughly, smoothly.
Help your pupil to identify and read any other such words that are met in the course of the child’s reading.
