sunnylady303 Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 So I am doing AAS 2 with my 8YO. We are near the end and I don't remember the lesson but it is the one using the keycard that says "English words don't end in i, j, u, or v." They always have little explanation boxes with them about non English words like ski or menu etc. But my very rules oriented girl says, "what about the word 'you'?" Yes, what about that? I couldn't find anything that talk about that anywhere. What am I missing? I have nothing to tell my dd. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daisy Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 I think you is taught as a rule breaker. It may be in your book. Look in the back and see if you find the word /you/ in the list of words taught that year. If so, it will have a page number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmilyGF Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 From SWR, "you and I are special." Historically, you came from French when people wanted English to be more Frenchlike. I think it was formerly spelled something like "eow". I think "I" was derived from German. Emily Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BriannaG Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 My notes from Phonics Road explains you and thou are the only two English words that end in u via the vowel team OU. I'd check out your list and see how AAS handles it and hopefully someone with more experience will chime in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
