Juju's story: The Yellow Duck
Yaa is a little yellow duck.
Yaa looks like a little duck with a swan-shaped body. The two dots below are his two little feet splashing in the water.
Sound: y, as in yellow. Also a long 'ee'.
Looks like: ب Baa. Look at the dots to tell them apart!
Juju's Letter Train: Yaa at the start, middle and end
Arabic letters hold hands like a train. Start reading at the engine on the right, then walk back along the train. The letter changes its look in each spot.
