Hello, friends! Today, we’re going to have fun learning about the letter Y. Are you ready? Let’s get started!
The letter Y is a special letter. Sometimes it sounds like “yeah,” like when you say “yes.” Can you say “yeah” with me? Yeah, yeah, yeah! Great job!
Let’s learn how to write the letter Y. First, we’ll do the big Y, called uppercase Y. Start by making a short slanted line going down. Then, lift your pencil and make another line going down to the right, connecting at the bottom. Finally, draw a line straight down. Look, it’s like a slingshot!
Now, let’s try the small y, called lowercase y. Start with a short line going down. Then, make a curve and keep going down. Make another curve and finish with a little tail. It looks like a rattle! You can try it at home with a pen and paper. It’s super fun!
Let’s think of some words that start with Y. How about “yoga”? Yoga is a fun way to stretch and relax. Do you like yoga?
Another word is “yes.” Saying “yes” is a great way to agree with someone. Can you think of other words that start with Y?
You’ve done an amazing job learning about the letter Y today! There are so many more letters to discover. Keep watching more videos and learning new things every day. Have a great time exploring!
Y Hunt: Go on a letter Y hunt around your home or classroom. Look for objects that start with the letter Y, like a yellow toy or a yogurt container. Can you find at least three things? Share what you found with a friend or family member.
Y Art: Create a piece of art using the letter Y. Draw a big Y on a piece of paper and turn it into something fun, like a tree or a person. Use crayons, markers, or colored pencils to decorate your Y art. Show your creation to the class and explain what you made.
Y Sound Game: Play a game where you listen for the “yeah” sound. Sit in a circle with your friends and take turns saying words. If the word starts with the “yeah” sound, everyone claps their hands. If it doesn’t, stay quiet. How many words can you think of that start with Y?
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:

Hello, everybody! I’m going to tell you a lot of things about myself. Let’s start with the word “my.” Repeat after me: when I’m in the word “my,” I can’t hear you. Hey, amazing! When I’m at the beginning of a word, I make a different sound like this: yeah, again, yeah, yeah, yeah. Wow, great job!
Now let’s look at how to write “my.” It’s really easy! Just make a short diagonal line here, lift up the pencil, and make another line to the right that connects to the first one at the end. To finish, we draw a line straight down. Great! I look like a slingshot.
Now let’s look at the lowercase version. We start with a short line, then go down and make a curve until here. Then we keep going down, make another curve, and end with a little tail. Fantastic! I’m like a rattle. Try it at home with pen and paper; it’s super easy!
Now let’s look at the words that start with “Y.” Come on! “Yoga” starts with a “Y.” You like doing yoga; it’s very relaxing. We’ll say hi later!
“Yes” is also another word that starts with “Y.” I love traveling at sea! What do you think of everything you’ve learned? Ready to sing? Yes!
