Day 3: The Change-Y to I Rule

When do we swap our y to an i? Let's master the y-to-i spelling rule!

The Y-to-I Strategy:

If a base word ends in a consonant + y:
• Change the y to i before adding any suffix (example: cry + ed = cried).
• EXCEPTION: Never change the y if the suffix is -ing (example: cry + ing = crying).

1 Spelling Transformers: Apply the rule. Combine the base word and the suffix correctly.

Spelling Hackers • Day 4 Page 4

Day 4: Vowel Teams oi/oy & ou/ow

Let's learn spelling generalizations to decide which vowel team makes the sound!

Location Generalizations:

The "/oy/" sound: • Use oi at the beginning or middle of a word (example: coin, boil).
• Use oy at the end of a word (example: boy, enjoy).

The "/ow/" sound: • Use ou at the beginning or middle of a word (example: house, out).
• Use ow at the end of a word (example: cow, now).

1 Spelling Decider: Complete each word using the correct vowel team based on its position in the word.

CHOOSE oi OR oy

1. t _____ l (soil/tool)

2. en j _____ (happy)

3. p _____ n t (finger)

CHOOSE ou OR ow

1. c l _____ d (sky)

2. p l _____ (dirt tool)

3. f _____ n d (located)

2 Location Check:

If the spelling sound sits at the very end of the base word, write "END." Otherwise, write "MIDDLE."

Day 3: Fragment vs. Run-On (Repair Shop)

Let's repair broken sentence structures. No more fragments or run-on structures allowed!

Codebreaker Diagnostics:

• Fragment (FRAG): Missing either a subject or a verb (example: Running to the gate).
• Run-On (RO): Two complete sentences smashed together without punctuation (example: The gate is open the dog escaped).

1 Diagnostic Check: Decide if the text is a Fragment (FRAG), Run-On (RO), or Sentence (SENT).

Sentence Text

Structure Type

"The steel bridge collapsed under the heavy load."

FRAG RO SENT

"Because the engine stopped running."

FRAG RO SENT

"The alarm sounded loud the workers ran outside."

FRAG RO SENT

2 Repair Shop Writing:

Rewrite the run-on sentence correctly by splitting it into two separate sentences with proper capitalization and punctuation.

"The tractor stopped working there was no gasoline in the tank."

Sentence Architects • Day 4 Page 4

Day 4: Sentence Combining (Compound Sentences)

Let's combine short, choppy sentences into compound structures using connector words.

The Conjunction Code:

To combine two complete sentences, insert a comma (,) followed by a coordinating conjunction (like and, but, or, so).

The crane lifted. The steel did not move.
➔ The crane lifted, but the steel did not move.

1 Sentence Joiners: Combine the pairs of sentences using a comma and the coordinating conjunction in parentheses.

"The workers poured the hot concrete. It dried very quickly." (and)

Combined: __________________________________________________________________

"We must finish the roof today. The rain will damage the wood." (or)
