Are you looking for a phonics activity to help students consolidate long vowel U words?

In this fun problem-solving activity, students solve one clue at a time, with each answer changing only one sound from the word before it, working through a chain like chew, dew, pew, new, few, flew while reinforcing the spelling pattern ew.

Two mat formats are included so you can match the level of support to each student: a blank version where students work out every word in the chain from the clues alone and a version with the first word already given to help them get started.

What's included:

  • 8 coloured mats with no words provided

  • 8 coloured mats with the first word given, guiding students through a matching word chain

  • Worksheets in black and white for both versions

  • Answer keys
