Letter Y Games for Preschoolers

Words like Yellow, Yacht and Yak start with the letter Y.

While the number of words that start with Y may be quantitatively lesser than those that begin with other letters of the alphabet, learning the letter Y is important for preschoolers because it is used to form many words in the English language.

For example, Y is used in words like very, many, and jelly.

The letter is used in the middle in words like jellyfish, bye, bicycle, and recycle. It can be confusing for kids to practice the letter Y because when used in the middle of words, it sometimes sounds like the letter ‘i’.

In the preschool grade, kids are expected to learn the pronunciation of ‘y’ and recognize how different it is from the ‘i’ (which also has many different pronunciations!) To help kids best understand where the Y finds itself in words, practice, practice, and practice some more!
