Rule Challenge

Worksheet Description

Students complete a mixed challenge that reviews when to change a final y to i and when to keep the y. They finish word forms, find the word that does not belong, judge whether spellings are correct, unscramble changed words, and explain which rule was used. The worksheet also reminds students that the y stays before -ing and when a vowel comes before it. The variety of tasks gives a full check of the skill.

This worksheet helps students move beyond memorizing one simple rule. They learn to recognize important exceptions and explain why a word changes or stays the same. Solving several task types also requires flexible thinking and careful attention to spelling patterns. This builds deeper rule understanding, proofreading skill, word analysis, and confidence with more advanced word formation.
