Your child hears the Y sound — yuh! — again and again, sees the capital letter Y, and watches Tardy show off the shape of the letter Y. Then meets nine Y words right on the beat: yak, yacht, yolk, yogurt, yarn, yawn, yeti, yoga and yellow.

The words
Y! Y! Y! Yuh, yuh, yuh! Here comes Tardy — it's Y today!
Y is for Yo-Yo, Yo-Yo, Yo-Yo! Y is for Yo-Yo — yuh, yuh, Y!
Yuh-yuh-yak with a woolly coat, yuh-yuh-yacht, a little boat, yuh-yuh-yolk, yellow and round, Y is for Yo-Yo — up and down!
Yuh-yuh-yogurt, yum, yum, yum, yuh-yuh-yarn for my mum, yuh-yuh-yawn, stretch up high, Y is for Yo-Yo — say hi!
Two strings up and one hangs down, spin it, spin it, round and round, spin, Yo-Yo — look, it's a Y! (Zing!)
Yuh-yuh-yeti in the snow, yuh-yuh-yoga, stretch and slow, yuh-yuh-yellow, the colour of the sun, Y is for Yo-Yo — yes, yes, fun!
Say it with me: yuh! (yuh!) Say it again: yuh! (yuh!) Say yes: yuh! (yuh!) Nod yes, yes, yes: yuh! (yuh!) Yuh, yuh, yuh, yuh — Y! Y! Yo-Yo!
Zing! Zing!
Y is for Yo-Yo, Yo-Yo, Yo-Yo! Y is for Yo-Yo — yuh, yuh, Y! Y is for Yo-Yo, Yo-Yo, Yo-Yo! Y is for Yo-Yo — yuh, yuh, Y!
Yak, yacht, yolk, yogurt, yarn, yawn, yeti, yoga, yellow — Y is for Yo-Yo...
