U EW and UE - a story sound spotting activity

This is a story with the resemblance of Goldilocks and the three bears but with different characters. Ewan and the unicorns is a story filled with UE, U and EW sounds for children to identify. I made this resource for a phonics lesson where I demonstrated to children how to hunt for things in a text. The children had one copy between two and used highlighters to find any words with the U, UE and EW sounds in. They were asked to write a list of these words they had found and as a group we discussed the spelling patterns. This was used as a recap lesson to the ‘U’ sound.
