Thursday: Story day

The rain stops. Drip, drip. The hill is wet and shiny.

"Let us hike to the top," says Donnie.

Ferris wags his tail. "I am ready!"

"First, one more trick with the letter y," says Donnie.

See it: change y to i

Some words end with y after a consonant, like cry and happy.

Change the y to i. Then add es, ed, er or ly.

Cry, cries, cried. Happy, happier, happily.
