G makes two sounds, which kids find interesting once they notice it. Goat, gift and green use the hard sound from the back of the throat. Giraffe, gem and giant use the soft sound, like J. Giraffes have tan coats with brown patches, grapes are purple or green, and gorillas are dark gray or black, so there are many realistic color options.
Lowercase g has a tail that dips below the line. On lined paper, color the bottom line your letters sit on, then show your child how the tail of g hangs under it like a fishing hook.

Questions parents and teachers ask
Why does G sound different in goat and giraffe?
G usually makes the hard sound, but it often turns soft, like J, before E, I or Y. Words like goat and gum use the hard sound, while giraffe and gem use the soft one.
What are good G words for preschoolers?
Goat, gift, grapes, girl, game and garden are easy, familiar words. Giraffe is a favorite, but it uses the soft G, so it is a good example once kids know the hard sound.
