i saying ee, or y saying 'i'
As your pupil's vocabulary increases they will soon start to meet words that have an 'i' making an y (ee) sound, and other words where 'y' says a short 'i' sound, as in 'pit'.
Help the pupil to chunk words where necessary. Say the word and listen for the natural breaks. They often come after the vowel sound. Remember - each chunk of a word must contain a vowel - or a vowel sound (in the case for example of words with 'y' making a vowel sound.)

Dictation:
Tom was listening to the radio as he worked in the barn one day. The News was on. One man had won a billion pounds. Another man thought he saw an alien in his garden. One lady had grown a brilliant crop of onions and a lad had won a prize for having a very obedient dog. Then their was the mysterious thief who had stolen a piece of silver in India. Last of all was the story of a lady who had taught her daughter to walk like a penguin. He guessed they must have visited the zoo. The News gave Tom a good laugh.
Teaching notes:
Talk about the plural of story - stories.
Talk about why News has a capital letter - it's the name of a programme.

Reading book
Read the Bible!
A poem to learn now that you can read it!
To say my prayers is not to pray,
Unless I mean the words I say;
Unless I think to whom I speak,
And with my heart His favour seek.
In prayer we speak to God above,
We seek the blessed Saviour's love.
We ask for pardon for each sin,
And grace to keep us pure within. (pure = silent 'e' family)
Then let me, when I try to pray,
Not only mind the words I say,
But let me try with watchful care
To have my heart go with my prayer.
