Let’s listen for the Y sound at the end of some words. Ready?
At a party, party, party,
There was a pony, pony, pony,
And a bunny, bunny, bunny,
And a piñata with candy, candy, candy.
Did you hear the Y sound? Let’s say it again: /y/ – /y/ /y/ /y/ /y/. Now you try: /y/ – /y/ /y/ /y/ /y/.
Let’s find the Y sound in more words:
In July, July, July,
I saw a guy, guy, guy,
Get in a jet and fly, fly, fly,
And do tricks in the sky, sky, sky.
Did you hear the Y sound at the end? Great job!
