Letter W — Watermelon.

A striped watermelon rolls in for the letter W. W is the longest letter to say — double-u — and one zigzag stroke to write: down, up, down, up.

THE CARD — DRAW RIGHT ON IT

Trace W w, circle the watermelon.

This is W’s own card from the class. Pick a crayon, then trace the big letter and the little letter right on the card with your finger, a stylus or the mouse — and circle watermelon. Press Save my work when you are proud: your drawing stays here for next time.

“w — wuh, a windy round sound”

W says wuh — made with rounded lips blowing gently, like blowing out a candle without blowing it out. Say wuh and feel your lips make a small circle.
