Week 2, lesson 1 Letter formation - "y" - Phonics Phase 3 - Worksheet

In the second week of Phonics Phase 3, lesson one introduces the letter formation for the lowercase "y." This foundational skill is crucial for young learners as they develop their handwriting abilities. The accompanying worksheet provides a structured approach to practicing this letter. Students are given lines of "y"s to trace, helping them to understand the shape and movement required to write the letter correctly. The activity is designed to reinforce the connection between the letter and its corresponding phoneme /y/ through repetition and visual recognition.

The worksheet also includes an engaging task where students are asked to circle words that start with the /y/ sound. This exercise not only helps in reinforcing the phoneme but also aids in vocabulary building and phonemic awareness. Words such as "yum" and "yes" are included, allowing children to distinguish the /y/ sound at the beginning of words from other sounds in the English language. The worksheet is a practical tool from the "All Aboard Phonics" program, providing a clear and focused activity for young learners to improve their phonics skills and letter formation.
