Reading of the letter Yy.

Reading of the letter Yy.
 
Hello! Could you, please, give me any material on reading of the letter Yy in the second syllable? I mean words.

Pronouncing /y/ as a Vowel
In a one-syllable word, /y/ is pronounced as an /ai/ (I) sound, such as in the words: my, fly, try, cry, shy. If you have a /y/ in the first syllable of a word it is pronounced as a short /ih/ sound. An example of this pronunciation occurs in the words cyst, Lynn, gym, and gymnasium.

Pronunciation of the Letter �Y� At The End of a Word?

If a word is one syllable, and ends in a �Y�, pronounce it as the long I sound.

This is the case in words like �my�, �by�, �shy�.

If a word is two syllables, and ends in a �Y�, pronounce it as the long E sound.

This is the case in words like �happy�, �penny�, �baby�.

 
Hope it helps
Monique
