Frequently Asked Questions
The U set focuses on one sound: short /u/, as in up. Uppercase U is a simple cup shape, and lowercase u adds a little line on the right. After tracing both, your child circles every U and u in a letter box, listens for the starting sound on the beginning sounds page, and names pictures like an umbrella and an umpire on "U is for umbrella." The umbrella shows up again in kindergarten on a letter recognition page, next to a U tracing page. A word search covers 1st grade. Below those are mixed-letter review pages, and a cursive U page for later on. Answer keys are included for several pages.
