Let's learn the letter Y!

Learn the letter Y with Kids activities blog

Yay for the Letter Y!

We are almost done with our preschool alphabet learning series, and today we are learning all about the letter Y.

The letter Y is very important to the English writing system and can be a bit difficult for kids because it sometimes represents a vowel and sometimes a consonant. But don't worry, with our crafts and activities we'll make it very easy to learn!

Letter Y Song

The letter Y plays an important part in the alphabet called a consonant.  To understand better what sounds the letter b can make, here is the Letter Y song.

If you are homeschooling your children or just want to try a new way to learn, you can use these reading games for kids or educational youtube channels to make learning fun!

Kids can practice writing their letter Y in different ways, including chalkboards, printable worksheets, and more!

Letter Y Lesson Plan

Y is for yo-yo, yacht, and yarn!  We can begin this lesson by asking our young student which words that start with the letter Y they know.

Let's make this fun!

  • How many words that start with Y can they think of?
  • Do they know any places that start with Y?
  • What about foods that start with Y?
  • Or animals that start with the letter Y?

Letter Y Crafts to Teach

We like starting our alphabet teaching lessons with a craft. Crafts are so good for kids because it helps them master motor skills, expand their creativity, and have fun, all at the same time.
