Letter Y Word Scramble Worksheet

Hey teachers! Here's a ready-to-use word scramble I created focusing on words that start with the letter Y. This 2-page printable has 24 age-appropriate words for grades K-2, ranging from simple (yes, yak) to more challenging (yesterday, yield).

I've used this in my first grade classroom for years during our letter-of-the-week activities. The kids especially love racing to unscramble funny words like "yummy" and "yodel." The worksheet has:

• Clear, large-print letters

• Picture clues for younger learners

• A mix of short and long words

Perfect for:
• Letter Y phonics practice
• Morning work baskets
• Literacy centers
• Occupational therapy sessions

The second page is a straightforward answer key - I always keep a few copies laminated for students to check their own work.

Some of the words included:

• Basic: yarn, yard, yell

• Tricky: yellow, young, yoga

• Challenge: yourself, yesterday

Format: PDF (2 pages - activity + answers)

Teaching tip: Have students highlight the letter Y in each unscrambled word for extra letter recognition practice!
