Here you will find practice words, phrases, sentences, paragraphs, and tongue twisters for the "y" sound. A lot of the material on this page is taken from the Home Speech Home site. To make this sound the tongue goes back and up. This sound is very difficult to make without including a vowel. This sound is not typically a difficult sound to learn by English speakers; however, English language learners may substitute the "y" sound with the "j" sound. For example, the word "yes" may sound more like "jes". If this is what you or your child is working on, here is a great video by an English as a second language teacher.
