Letter U — Umbrella.
An open orange umbrella floats in for the letter U. U says uh — the sound you make when something surprises you, which rain usually does.
Trace U u, circle the umbrella.
This is U’s own card from the class. Pick a crayon, then trace the big letter and the little letter right on the card with your finger, a stylus or the mouse — and circle umbrella. Press Save my work when you are proud: your drawing stays here for next time.

Tap your fingers on the umbrella like rain drops, starting slow and getting faster.

Close it with a whoosh and listen for the big uh at the end.
