About this coloring page
Y can act as a consonant or as a vowel. At the start of a word it is a consonant and makes the sound in yo-yo, yak, yellow, yarn and yogurt. At the end of a word it often works as a vowel: it says "ee" in happy and baby and "eye" in sky and fly. This letter Y coloring page shows a big Yy, the words Y is for Yo-yo, and four rows of Y and y to trace.
Capital Y is two short slanted lines that meet in the middle, with a straight line going down from where they meet, like a branch in a tree. Lowercase y is a short slant from the left and a longer slant from the right that crosses through and drops below the writing line. Point out that y, like g, j, p and q, has a tail that hangs below.
