I agree with the cve pattern first. You might try a word sort with ay (end of word) and ai (middle of word). oy (end of word), oi (middle of word). ea/ee, etc. My kiddos read down the list after sorted, taking turns and keeping track of each other's time and then trying to beat their own time at reading them.
