    You and U – The Perfect Team

    The letter U will open up a world of words and sounds, and you can open up a whole new dimension of fun and excitement to the process.

    Understanding U

    Your kindergartner probably loves words like umbrella and unicorn, but they need to know where the magic comes from! Begin by showing them the letter in upper and lowercase to help them associate with its sound.
     
    To start with, work on the short vowel sound. It sounds a little like 'uh.' Most words with 'u' have a short vowel sound, like drum, mug, stuck, and spun. Practice this sound using games and activities that require your child to identify the sound, fill in the correct vowel, or even choose the right letter to complete the word.

    Now get your child to make their army of 'u' words using the short vowel sound. It is where creativity and concept understanding is the highest.

    If you have an intelligent learner, you can introduce the magic 'e' that converts the U to a long vowel sound that sounds much like the word 'you.' It takes a lot of practice to ensure your child understands the short vowel sound well.

    Putting U in Perspective

    Learning letters becomes so much easier when your children have different ways to practice. The letter U is no different. That's why SplashLearn brings you a range of online educational games and exciting challenges that can help your child learn, practice, and work with the letter in style!
