What to notice when spelling these words
Four words share the same ending
The words he, we, me, and be all end with e. In each word, the final e says its letter name. Listen for the first consonant sound, then add e.
Short o helps with two words
The words on and not use the familiar short o sound. Say each word slowly and listen for the consonants around the vowel. In not, all three sounds match the letters n-o-t.
The remaining words do not all use the same vowel spelling. Go ends with o, while my, to, and you need the particular vowel reminders in the spelling notes.
Notes for particular words
to
The word to ends with o. The o usually sounds like the vowel in do, not the long o heard in go.
you
The word you begins with y. Its ending sounds like the vowel in do, but it is spelled with two letters: o-u.
