Change y to i Spelling Rule | Adding Suffixes | UFLI Lesson 110 | Grade 1, Grade 2 Spelling Rules

Welcome to another fun and educational video on the Happy Heart Words channel! In this video, our beloved character Huggy the Happy Heart is on a mission to complete a sentence. He needs some spelling help, but don't worry! Sparkle the Spelling Star arrives to save the day! Together, they explore the "Change y to i" spelling rule, making it easy and fun for young learners to understand and apply this important spelling concept.

Join Huggy and Sparkle as they focus on spelling the words "cried" and "crying." Sparkle explains how the Change the y t to i Rule works: when adding a suffix to a word that ends with y, change the y to i before adding the suffix. But only do this if the letter before the y is a consonant!

With Sparkle's guidance, Huggy learns how to spell "cried" correctly, and why we don't follow the rule when adding the suffix -ing to spell the word "crying".

This video is perfect for Grade 1 and Grade 2 students who are learning spelling rules, and for older students in need of spelling review. It's filled with engaging animations and clear instruction rooted in the Science of Reading and structured literacy. Your young readers and writers will love learning with Huggy and Sparkle as they build confidence in their spelling skills.

The Change the y to i Rule is introduced in UFLI Lesson 110, so if you are using the UFLI Foundations Program this video is the perfect teaching companion!
