Instructions for Parents & Teachers:

1. The "Uh" Sound: Practice the short 'U' sound (as in Umbrella). Tell your child it sounds like they are thinking... "Uh...".
2. The "Cup" Shape: Describe the letter U as a "cup" or a "swing" that holds things inside. This helps them visualize the curve.
3. Up and Down: Use the word "Up" from the worksheet to play a quick game. Have them stand "Up" every time they see a Big U!
4. Creative Coloring: Encourage your child to color the "Unicorn" or "Umbrella" using bright colors to make the learning experience more vivid.
