    Written by Yvette Manns to help students understand the jobs of the letter Y as a vowel.

    Y loves to build words with her letter friends, but She feels left out because there aren’t that many words that start with the letter Y. She decides to Go undercover as a spy and work as a vowel. Will she ever go back to her day job as a consonant sound?

    This phonics tale is a great teaching aid for elementary students and literacy lovers, alike!

    This is best used with students who've learned long and short vowels and are being introduced to Y as a vowel sound in one syllable and two syllable words. This can be used before, during, or after your literacy lessons, or as a read-aloud before explaining the concept of Y as a vowel.

    Please note that this book features Y as a consonant sound, Y as long E sound, Y as long I sound and Y as short I sound. Vowel teams are not included in this story.
