U Sound Hunt: Go on a sound hunt around your home or classroom! Find objects that start with the short or long sound of the letter U. Can you find an umbrella or a unicorn toy? Share what you find with your friends or family and say the word out loud, emphasizing the U sound.
U Art Project: Create a collage using pictures from magazines or drawings of things that have the U sound. You can make two sections: one for the short U sound and one for the long U sound. Glue them onto a big piece of paper and decorate it with the letter U. Display your artwork for everyone to see!
U Story Time: With a grown-up’s help, read a storybook that has lots of U words. Listen carefully for the U sounds as you read. After the story, try to remember and list all the words with the U sound you heard. Can you make up your own short story using some of these U words?
