Purpose of the lesson: we study the letter Y, the formation of reading skills, the development of speech skills, the improvement of phonemic awareness, the basics of elementary graphic skills.
Tasks:
- introduce the preschooler to the letter Y and the correct pronunciation of the sound;
- teach how to write the printed letter Y in squares;
- to generate interest in learning poems and riddles.
Name what is shown in the pictures below:
Kettle
Parrot
Yogurt
Yogi
- Please listen to the words (emphasize the last sound in your voice): mine, yours, wild, kind, smart.
- What sound is there in all these words?
- What sound is there in both the word PARROT and the word MIKE?
- At the beginning, at the end or in the middle of a word is the [Y] sound in the word PARROT? — MIKE? - GIVE? — AIBOLIT?
When we pronounce the sound [Y], the tip of the tongue is behind the lower teeth, and the back of the tongue rises to the palate. Say: YYY. The back of the tongue rises to the palate and prevents air from freely leaving the mouth when we pronounce the sound [Y].
- Vowel or consonant sound [Y]?
- Voiced or voiceless?
- Why?
- Look at the letter Y. What letter does it look like?
The letters are similar, but the sounds are completely different: [I] is a vowel, and [Y] is a consonant sound.
Repeat: BUNNY. What is the first syllable in this word? What is the second syllable in this word?
Similarly - with the words MIKE, SMART, STUPID, TRAM, AIBOLIT.
Read the words: my, may, smart, kind, red, hero, bunny, stupid, strong, green, funny, tram -wai.
Assignment: printed letter Y for preschoolers
Examine the letter Y. Sew the letter Y in the air and once in the notebook, carefully in the cells with a simple pencil or ballpoint pen.
In cases where the child is asked to write a whole line of a letter, syllable or word, the adult gives a writing sample at the beginning of the line. If a preschooler has difficulties, then an adult can draw two approximate lines, or put reference points that the child will connect with lines, or write the entire letters, and the child will simply circle them in a different color. Calligraphy should not be required at this stage of training.

Exercises to strengthen and develop the speech apparatus
Often, a child pronounces sounds incorrectly because his speech apparatus muscles are poorly developed. Speech therapists offer exercises aimed at strengthening this muscle group. You need to start doing them from the age of 3-4 years, so that by the age of 6-7 years the child does not have any problems with speech.
- Exercises to strengthen the muscles of the tongue help pronounce the letters “c”, “ch”, “t”, “r”, “sh”, “zh”.
- “Sting” - tense your tongue as much as possible, stick it out and stay in this position for as long as possible.
- “Spatula” - place the tongue on the lower lip.
- “Bowl” - open your mouth, stick out your tongue, do not touch your teeth, stick it back.
- “Pendulum” - open your mouth, stick out your tongue, tense, and move left and right.
- “Horse”, “turkey” - the baby should imitate the clatter of hooves, as well as the cry of a turkey (bl-bl-bl).
- Exercises to strengthen the root of the tongue help to correctly pronounce the sounds “g”, “k”, “x”.
- slight cough;
- imitation of sounds when gargling;
- pronunciation of the vowels “a”, “i”, “e”, but sharply, abruptly.
- Correct closing of the lips helps to pronounce the sounds “b”, “m”, “p”.
- Squeeze the pencil between your lips and describe a circle in the air with it.
- Squeeze a bean or seed with your lips and then sharply spit it out.
- Show how a horse snorts.
- Imitation of drum sounds - boom, bam.
- Cheek training.
- Take turns puffing out your cheeks.
- Puff out your cheeks and imitate chewing food.
- Roll air from one cheek to another.
Fine motor skills help in speech development. Massage your baby's palms regularly. You can use soft brushes, balls, and say jokes for this. Applications, stringing of beads, modeling from plasticine or salt dough are great for developing fine motor skills.
Tale about the letter Y
What do you know about yoga?
“What do you know about yogis?” - that was the name of the book that Mouse the mouse found in the garden. On the cover there was a picture of a naked guy - a yogi, who, as if nothing had happened, was lying on nails sticking out of the board. In other pictures, the same yogi simply stood with his bare feet on hot coals or sat frozen in a block of ice. In addition, Mouse read that yogis can go for months without eating or drinking. - Need to try! - decided Mouse. “I can imagine what will happen when mom opens the refrigerator, and I’m sitting there frozen and smiling. Or dad opens the stove, and I sit there on the coals and say: “What, I’ve never seen yoga, or what?”
To begin with, he hammered nails into the board and just lay down on them, when he immediately jumped up and started yelling at the whole garden:
- Ohhhhh!!!
He ran home, took out iodine and began to smear the nail scratches on himself. And iodine burns! Mouse smears, groans, and thinks: “I’ll throw this book to the cat.” Let him be a yogi now.”
(G. Yudin)

How to teach the alphabet in 1st grade
Children begin to learn letters in kindergarten, so in first grade the material is consolidated. Letters are taught not as they are located in the alphabet, but taking into account the phonetic features of letters and sounds.
- Lessons begin with the study of vowels: A, U, O, E, I, Y.
- The next topic is devoted to sonorant consonants - M, L, R, N, as well as the letter Y.
- Then they study consonant letters that form pairs - hard-soft, voiced-voiceless: G-K, D-T, B-P, Z-S, V-F.
- Then they learn the vowels that sound after the soft sign and consist of two letters: E, Yo, Yu, Ya and the soft sign.
- There comes a turn of hissing consonants: X, Ch, Shch, Ts and a dividing solid sign.
There is no single methodology for learning letters in 1st grade. The sequence varies depending on the program in which the class is taught, as well as the methodology approved at the school. There are teachers who have developed their own methodology. The standard order for learning letters is as follows:
- Vowels that sound unambiguous;
- Simple consonants;
- Paired consonants;
- Complex letters.
