Today, we are going to have fun learning about a special letter in the alphabet. This letter is called U. Can you say “U”? Great job!
There are two ways to write the letter U. We have a big U and a small U. Let’s learn how to write them!
To write a big U, start at the top and make a big curve down and around, then go back up. It looks like a big smile! Can you try drawing a big U in the air with your finger?
Now, let’s write a small U. Start in the middle, make a little curve down and around, and then go back up. It’s like a tiny smile! Can you try drawing a small U in the air with your finger?
Did you know that many words start with the letter U? Let’s think of some words together. How about “umbrella”? Or maybe “unicorn”? Can you think of any other words that start with U?
Let’s sing a little song to remember the letter U:
“U is for umbrella, up in the sky, U is for unicorn, flying so high!”
Wasn’t that fun? Now you know all about the letter U. Keep practicing, and soon you’ll be a letter U expert!
U Hunt: Go on a “U Hunt” around your home or classroom. Look for objects that start with the letter U, like an umbrella or a utensil. Can you find at least three things? Draw a picture of each item you find and try to write the word next to it. This will help you remember the sound and shape of the letter U!
U Art: Create a collage using pictures from magazines or drawings of things that start with the letter U. You can include unicorns, umbrellas, and anything else you can think of. Use glue and paper to make your collage colorful and fun. Share your artwork with your friends and family and tell them about the letter U words you included.
U Story Time: With a partner or a family member, make up a short story using as many U words as you can. For example, “Once upon a time, a unicorn found an umbrella under a tree.” Draw a picture to go with your story. This will help you practice using the letter U in different ways!
