You sounds like “yoo”, but the o and u team up in an unusual way. Point to your child every time you read you, and to yourself when you read I or me. Write a few short notes that start with you, like “You are kind”.

Questions about “you”
Why is you spelled with ou?
In you, o and u together make the “oo” sound. It is a rule-breaker word, so practising it by sight works best.
My child writes yu. Should I correct it?
Praise them for hearing the sounds, then show the real spelling. Reminding them that you has an o hiding in the middle helps.
