📚 Rules to Remember • Week 7

Rule 1 • Open Syllables

A vowel at the end of a short word or accented open syllable usually says its long sound (go, be, my).

Rule 2 • /ō/ & /o͞o/ on <o>

/ō/ spelled o at the end of a short word (go, no, so); /o͞o/ spelled o (do, to).

Rule 3 • /ē/ on <e>

/ē/ spelled e at the end of a short word (be, he, me, we, she).

Rule 4 • /ī/ on <y>

/ī/ spelled y at the end of a short word (by, my, try, cry, fly). English words rarely end in i.
