Frequently Asked Questions

Common Y words: yellow, yak, yo-yo, yawn, yogurt, year, yard, and yell. At the start of words, Y almost always makes the consonant /j/ sound (as in "yellow", "yes", "you"). Y is also used as a vowel in words like "gym", "fly", "baby", and "funny" — where it makes long I or long E sounds.

Y is both — it is called a "vowel-consonant" or "semivowel." As a consonant at the start of words (yes, yellow, you), Y makes the /j/ sound. As a vowel in the middle or end of words (gym, fly, funny, baby), Y takes the role of I or E. Phonics instruction typically introduces Y as a consonant first, then revisits its vowel roles in later grades.
