Teaching J to a child

Say the sound first, then let the child trace it. Like j in jam, with the tongue on the palate. Ask for one more word that starts with J — a name in the family counts — and the letter becomes a game rather than a lesson.

In the app the whole stop takes a minute or two: trace J, hear it, pick it out of four letters, then watch the hut on the road raise its flag.
