share us on:

In today’s lesson, we explored the letter U, which makes two distinct sounds, as heard in “umbrella” and “unicorn.” We practiced writing both the uppercase and lowercase forms of the letter and discovered several words that begin with U, such as “universe,” “uniform,” and “urgent.” To reinforce our learning, we also enjoyed a fun song about the letter U, encouraging continued exploration of the alphabet.

Meet the Letter U!

Hello, friends! Today, we’re going to learn about a special letter. Can you guess which one? It’s the letter U! Let’s have some fun learning about it together.

The Sounds of U

The letter U is very special because it makes two different sounds! Let’s try them out:

  • The first sound is like in the word “umbrella.” Can you say “umbrella” with me?
  • The second sound is like in the word “unicorn.” Let’s say “unicorn” together!

Writing the Letter U

Now, let’s learn how to write the letter U. It’s easy and fun! Here’s how you do it:

  1. Start by drawing a long line down.
  2. Curve it at the bottom, like a smile.
  3. Then, draw a line going back up.

Great job! It looks like a magnet. For the small letter u, we do the same thing but add a little tail at the end. Try it with a pen and paper!

Let’s find out some words that start with the letter U:

  • Universe: The universe is so big and full of stars!
  • Uniform: Do you wear a uniform to school?

Ladies and gentlemen, the last vowel letter.

I’m so sorry, I think I am late as usual. Oh wait, there you are!

[Music] [Applause] [Music]

Hello, everyone! I seem to be running late. I’m the letter U. Let me tell you about me.

Let’s start with my sound. I have two of them. Let’s try this first.

[Music] [Applause]

Now let’s try my other sound.

[Applause]

Now let’s try how to write me. Draw a long line down, curve it at the bottom, and draw a line up.

Yup, that’s it! It looks like a magnet. The small curve is similar but with a little tail.

Look, I’ll show you. We draw a line downwards, curve it at the bottom, and draw a line up. And right at the end, we make a tail here.

Good job! It looks like a sloth. Try at home with pen and paper; it’s super easy!

[Music]

I’ll show you words I’m in. Universe starts with U. It’s huge, isn’t it?

The first letter in uniform is also U. Do you wear a uniform?

[Music]

Urgent also starts with U.

What about these words? It’s my other sound. Remember, I can help you upstairs.

[Music] [Applause]

Fantastic! Let’s sing so you remember me.

Ulrich, are you there? Come and sing with me!
