Letter Y — Yo-yo.

A blue yo-yo swings in for the letter Y. Y glides — yuh — and spends its days going up and down, just like the toy on the card.

THE CARD — DRAW RIGHT ON IT

Trace Y y, circle the yo-yo.

This is Y’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 yo-yo. Press Save my work when you are proud: your drawing stays here for next time.

THE LETTER SOUND

What does Y say?

ASSOCIATION CARDY y — Yo-yo

“y — yuh, like yo-yo”

Y says yuh at the start of yo-yo — a quick glide made with a wide smile. Y is a part-time letter: at the ends of words like happy it borrows the ee sound, but here it is the young consonant y.

TAKE IT OFF SCREEN

Yo-yo hands.

Two minutes is plenty. Follow your child’s lead and stop while it is still fun — that is the whole method.

  1. 01

    Make your hand a yo-yo: crouch down and rise up, saying yuh each time you stand.

  2. 02

    Tie a soft toy to a string and swing it gently — up, down, yuh, yuh.

  3. 03

    Count how many yo-yos you can do without laughing.
