CVC 'ug' Words Activity (Phase 2/3 Words)

What’s included?
This download includes x3 A4, portrait pdf sheet to practise reading and writing CVC words mostly within Phase 2. Two sounds in this set - (j and sh) are in Phase 3.

Who’s it for?
This resource has been designed for early years children, pupils in year one as well as older students needing additional learning support.

What’s it for?
This activity is interactive and encourages learners to sound out and read simple CVC words and think about what these words mean. Some words of course may have more than one meaning, however for the purpose of this activity I have only provided one illustration for every word. For words which are ‘new’ to them learners may need to work by process of elimination to identify the correct word/picture combination to record this (in writing) on the sheet provided.

Resource Details
The layout includes one ‘CVC wheel’ to make with easy to follow instructions. Once the wheel is assembled once turned different initial letters are revealed to make x9 ‘_ug’ CVC words.

ALL words are ‘real’ (not ‘nonsense’) words.

Words/pictures included are:
bug
dug
hug
jug (j is a phase 3 sound)
mug
rug
slug
shrug (sh is a phase 3 sound)
tug

Differentiation
Also included is one sheet in two levels of difficulty. The first sheet only has the initial sound missing (easier), the second sheet has ALL letters missing - for learners to write on the lines provided (more challenging). The level of difficulty is indicated by an icon at the base of each sheet (right side) - green for easier, red for more challenging.

There is a clear space for learners to write their name at the base of each sheet (left side). The CVC phonics wheel can be reused time and again.

Suggestion
I suggest printing and making the phonics wheel out of card which is stronger so more robust than paper and easier to turn.
