Teacher tip
Y at the start says /y/. Yak and yum are fun to say.
How to use it
- Play “I spy something that starts with…” after the sheet.
- Hold up the letter and let kids show a thumbs up when they hear a word with that sound.
- Keep a set of letter tiles or magnetic letters on the table for building words.
Watch for
Adding “uh” to stop sounds, like “buh” for /b/. Keep sounds short and crisp.
