y - Green Froggy
1. Download the PowerPoint. Use this to introduce the y grapheme that makes the long E sound. Look at the position of the y grapheme. Read the y nouns, adjectives. Look at plurals and the More than One machine.
2. Watch the ‘Happy Family Day’ video. Ask the children to make the Green Froggy (index finger and thumb making a smiley face) action each time they hear a y word. Can they recall all of the y words in the video?
3. Download the activity. Plan a party by cutting and pasting the y pictures and writing sentences. Highlight the y grapheme in green.
