Teaching U to a child
Say the sound first, then let the child trace it. Lips round and forward, a long oo. Ask for one more word that starts with U — 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 U, hear it, pick it out of four letters, then watch the hut on the road raise its flag.
