👨👩👧 For parents: teaching the letter J
The letter J (small j) is called “J” and usually makes the sound “Juh”. Common first words are Jar, Jellyfish, Jet.
Say the name first, then the sound, then a word: “J… J for Juice”. Ask your child to repeat it, find something at home that starts with J, and then trace the letter. Read more in our guide to teaching the alphabet.
