Geraldine! Good afternoon. Welcome back Geraldine. Today I'm going to teach you a new letter
sound. And it's the Y sound. Y Y Y. And there it is with the Y letter shape to your side.
It makes the Y sound. Not yuh, but yuh. It's the smallest sound. The smallest unit of sound.
Have a good go of making that Y Y Y sound. Go. Geraldine, are you getting a bit carried
away over there? Have another go of making the Y sound. Good girl! Wow, fantastic. That was
wonderful. Truly magnificent. Now Geraldine, I would like you to have a look around the house
for anything that starts with the Y sound. Off you go. So off she went around the house to find
something beginning with Y. Ooh Geraldine, it is a cookie. It is a macaroon. It's a, aha! It's a
yo-yo I think. But I can't see the rest of it Geraldine.
Are you not very good with the yo-yo Geraldine? I didn't think so. Butterfingers I think.
So you found yo-yo and yo-yo starts with a Y. Well done. Anything else? Ooh, it's a sheet of
paper of your favourite colour. That's the colour yellow. Ooh and you've got yellow in your feathers.
Let's have another look. Very very splendid. I like it. Geraldine, so you've found a yo-yo
and you've found something yellow. What else can you find? Geraldine, what have you found this
time? It's some yoghurt. Well done Geraldine. Do you like yoghurt? Oh, the man of the house
likes yoghurt. It's really nice, especially natural yoghurt like that. Well done. Yoghurt
begins with a Y. Good girl Geraldine. Now can you have one last go of that Y sound?
Geraldine, are you having a yawn? Yawn begins with a Y as well. Well done Geraldine,
you're so clever. Very clever. Well done. Have one last go of that Y sound.
Yeah. Okay Geraldine, bye for now.
