U is for Umbrella
Tip: print the capital and lowercase together while a child is learning that they are the same letter. Switch to one at a time once that has landed.
Teaching the Letter U
The sound it makes
Short "u" as in umbrella and up. The long "u" in unicorn actually says "yoo", which is worth knowing when a child insists unicorn starts differently.
How the letter is formed
Down, curve along the bottom, up to the top, then straight back down. One stroke and a short tail.
What it gets confused with
Upside down it is an "n". Some children flip it for a while.
Words that start with U
If unicorns are the current obsession, this is the letter to start the alphabet with. Nobody said it has to be done in order.
Colouring a letter is not handwriting practice, and it is not meant to be. What it does is buy time: a child spends ten quiet minutes with the shape of Uu in front of them and comes away recognising it, which is the step that has to happen before a pencil is any use. When they are ready to form the letter themselves, the handwriting worksheet generator builds a tracing sheet for U with the guide lines in the right places.
