Qubee letter W

Sounds like w as in wind.

W is letter 28 of the 31 Qubee letters of Afaan Oromo. It is one letter with one sound, so a child learns it once and traces it as one shape.

God — starts with W

Teaching W to a child

Say the sound first, then let the child trace it. Lips round, then open them fast. Ask for one more word that starts with W — 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 W, hear it, pick it out of four letters, then watch the hut on the road raise its flag.
