Learn the Letter “Y” with Yosef the Yeti

Hello, friends! Today, we’re going to have fun learning about a special letter. Can you guess what it is? It’s the letter “Y”! Let’s get started!

The Sound of “Y”

The letter “Y” makes a fun sound. Can you say it with me? When “Y” is at the beginning of a word, it sounds like “yuh.” Great job! Let’s try it again. “Yuh!” Awesome!

Writing the Letter “Y”

Now, let’s learn how to write the letter “Y.” It’s easy! For the big “Y,” start by drawing a short diagonal line. Then, lift your pencil and draw another line to the right that connects at the end. Finally, draw a line straight down. It looks like a slingshot!

Writing the Small “y”

For the small “y,” start with a short line going down. Then, make a curve and keep going down. Make another curve and finish with a little tail. It looks like a rattle. Try it at home with a pen and paper!
