KS1 phonics worksheet that teaches Year 1 and Year 2 children that the long u sound can be spelt three ways: ue, ew and u-e.
Children read a mixed list of words, circle them in different colours depending on which spelling makes the long u sound, then sort them into a three-column table headed ue, ew and u-e. Words include blue, cute, tube, clue, few, huge, screw, tune, news, threw, queue, fuel, drew, true and Tuesday, so the worksheet covers both regular spellings and high-frequency exceptions. To close, children pick one word from each column and write a sentence for it, linking spelling to meaning.
Useful for KS1 phonics screening preparation, classroom intervention or homework on long vowel spellings. Find more phonics practice in our phonics worksheets for KS1 ages 5 to 7. Printable PDF, A4, downloads instantly after purchase.
