Spell the Inflectional Endings: Replacing y

Become a stellar speller with this first- and second-grade worksheet! In this practice, students will add inflectional endings to nine words ending in y. For some words, the y will need to be replaced with an i before adding the ending. Learners must pay attention to the rules at the top of the worksheet as they determine the correct spelling and write out each word.

As students practice and memorize these spelling rules, they will become stronger writers. Spelling words correctly will make for clearer writing, especially as learners begin to write in different verb tenses.
