Jam Packed Post: What’s New, Short u Phonics Based Literacy Centers, & Freebie

I created this Short Vowel U Literacy Packet to use with my class this week.  My plans are a bit off due to an assembly, professional development, and Fountas and Pinnell testing, so I am not going to post them.  Though, I am posting a short vowel phonics mini-poster at the end of this post.

Included my short u center packet:

Short Vowel u File Folder Word Wall With Pictures

Short Vowel u Mini-Poster

Short Vowel u Flash Card Page

Short Vowel u Word Sort – Students will sort word-picture cards by -ut, -unk, and -ug ending. They will then record their work. 

Search/Read/Write the Room – Students will search the room for picture-word cards. They will record their findings on a recording sheet. I have provided you with a choice of two recording sheets. 

Roll and Write a Word – Students will roll a word and then record it on a recording sheet. They will continue to roll until one word has “won.” They will then analyze their data.

Magnify Tiny Short Vowel u Words – Students will use a magnifying glass to find tiny words with short vowel u words. They will then record their work. I have provided you with a choice of two recording sheets. 

Writing Center – Students will create their own “My Little Book of Words with Short Vowel u.”

Short Vowel u Rhymes – Students will match word/picture cards with their rhyming words. They will record and illustrate their rhymes. 

Short Vowel u Themed Build a Sentence – Students will arrange picture cards in the right order to tell a complete sentence. They will record their sentences.

Build a Word – Students will build words using picture cards containing a beginning sound, a short vowel u sound, and an ending sound. They will then record and illustrate their words. 

Spin a Word – Students will spin a beginning sound and an ending sound to build a word ending in -unk or -ut. They will then record their work. Nonsense words will also be recorded under a nonsense word column. 

I hope you check out the packet on TpT by clicking here.
