U-E Activities Pack

This U-E activities Pack is designed to help children learn to sound out words with the u-e sound and differentiate between u-e and ‘u’, a common cause of confusion amongst young learners. This pack will give children much practice, which will, in turn, help them become more confident at sounding out such words.

Who is the U-E activities Pack suitable for?

All phonics learners, including young children, SEN/special needs, ESL etc...

Aims and Objectives

Some children, when starting to learn about the long /u-e/ sound will start to make every /u/ into a long /u-e/ sound. While this is common among all children, some children need more help to overcome this difficulty. Therefore, this U-E activities Pack has two aims:

1. To help children to be able to hear the long vowel sound u-e in words

2. To help children understand that some words have a short /u/ and some have a long /u-e/; the child must listen to hear which word has which - not guess.

What is included in the U-E activities Pack?

• 2 games of lottos, one with 6 pictures and one with 12 - differentiated to meet the needs of all children, supplied in both colour and black and white.

• Picture/Word cards to make a game of Snap! or to use for word sorting 'u' or 'u-e' in both colour and black and white.

• Word sorting activities - as above or words only. These cards can either be placed or written on the supplied recording page.

Teaching tips:

Help children to hear the vowel sound by emphasizing it and stretching it out. Help the child to do this as well.

Have fun - as this eases children over those tricky spots!

1 PDF with 2 game sound boards, 2 picture boards, squares to cover up and a word (readers) card.
