The Letter "Y"


Our spelling words this week feature the letter "Y" used as a vowel.  You've always heard that the vowels are A..E..I..O..U.....and sometimes "Y".  They say that because sometimes "Y" does make a vowel sound.  It can make the "I" sound (fly, why, try, sky).  It can also make the "E" sound (funny, happy, baby, wavy).  So, sometimes "Y" can be a vowel.  Ask the kids to share our letter Y song with you.  Here are the lyrics if you'd like to sing along too!

The Letter "Y" is fancy!
The Letter "Y" is sweet!
It can say "yuh"
It can say "I"
and it can say "EEEEEEEEE"
