Read CVC short u words

Read CVC Short u Words Help your emerging readers learn to read CVC words with the short u sound through this engaging and interactive PowerPoint. As students click through the slides, a race car moves from the first letter to the second letter to the third letter. Students should make the letter sound for each slide, blending the sounds together to read eight CVC words: sun, pug, run, cup, cut, bug, gum, and bus. This multisensory activity reinforces critical pre-reading skills like letter sounds, blending, and matching sounds to letters. Use it whole group to introduce the short u sound, small group for differentiation, or assign it digitally for reading practice. By transforming individual letter sounds into short, simple words, students gain foundational phonological awareness and reading fluency with the five major vowel sounds.
