These low prep phonics task cards & phonics worksheets are great phonics activities for consolidating Long Vowel U words. Students must carefully blend and decode Long Vowel U words in order to identify the correct word from the lookalike words.
Why use lookalike words?
Do your students mix up sounds when they are trying to decode Long U words? By providing children with Long U words that look alike, we can help to teach our students to not simply look at the first letter or rely on guesswork.
These lookalike word activities encourage children to attend to each sound within the Long U words, in order to identify the correct word to match the Long U word pictures.
This resource includes 3 activities in 1 pack:
- 3 x colour mats for students to identify the Long U word - use as a literacy rotation activity
- 3 x black & white mats for students to identify the Long U word - use as a consolidation worksheet
- Individual task cards - perfect for picking & choosing words to align with your phonics scope & sequence. Use pegs or counters to identify the correct word.
6 full-size mats (3 x colour and 3 x black & white) and 24 individual task cards with Long Vowel U words are included.
