Remind children to pay attention to spelling clues that reveal pronunciation. They should then circle the word in each pair that has the long u sound. Model the example. Play the audio, decode both words, and read each word aloud, emphasizing the vowel sound. Say: Rub has the short u sound. It has a CVC spelling. Rule has the long u sound. It is spelled u_e. Circle rule to indicate that it has a long u sound. Play the audio and have children complete the activity, reading each word aloud. Answers: 1. tube 2. true 3. rude 4. blue Communicate C • Demonstrate knowledge of long vowels Write u_e and ue on the board. Say: Think of some things that have the /oo/ sound spelled u_e and ue. Can you name them and use them in a sentence? Point to the first picture and say: I can sing a tune. Tune has long u, and it is spelled with u_e. Repeat with the second example sentence. Then have children brainstorm and share sentences on their own. Differentiated Instruction • Scaffold Vowels in Spanish are never silent. Multilingual learners who speak Spanish may pronounce vowel pairs in English with two separate vowel sounds. Provide visual references, such as circling the vowel pair, to remind children to say only one sound when they pronounce words spelled with ue. • Amplify Have partners say as many words as they can with the long u /oo/ sound. One partner should say a word, and the other partner should use that word in a sentence. Show What You Know • Informal assessment Hold up word cards for words with the /oo/ sound spelled u_e and ue. Have children read each word, say the long vowel sound, and name the letters that spell the sound. Page P-160 Explore and Learn Long Vowel u Spelled: ew • Recognize words with long vowel u Explain that there are several different spellings for both long u sounds: /yoo/ and /oo/. Write the new spelling of long u on the board: ew. Say: This spelling can make both long u sounds. Pay attention to the pronunciation. Play the audio. Point to the first picture and say: Listen to this word: few. Have children repeat. Ask: What vowel sound do you hear in few? (/yoo/) How is that sound spelled in this word? (ew) Then point to the second picture and say: Listen to this word: screw. Have children repeat. Ask: What vowel sound do you hear in screw? (/oo/) How is that sound spelled in this word? (ew) • Recognize long vowel u in multisyllabic words Explain that this spelling also makes the long u sound in multisyllabic words. Say: These letters also make both the /yoo/ and /oo/ sounds in longer words. If one syllable in a longer word has the spelling ew, then that syllable has a long u sound. Demonstrate with familiar words children should already know. Have them decode the words renew, outgrew, nephew, and curfew. Practice A • Identify long vowel spellings Point to each spelling and have children make the appropriate sound. Model item 1. Make the /oo/ sound and say the word blew. Then play the audio. Ask children to listen and repeat the word. Ask: What word do you hear? (blew) Which long u sound is in the word? (/oo/) How is it spelled? (ew) Point to or circle ew. Play the audio and have children complete the activity. They should practice saying each word aloud. SCRIPT: 1. blew 2. chew 3. nephew 4. grew Answers: 1. ew 2. ew 3. ew 4. ew B • Identify long vowel sounds Explain to children that they will hear and read pairs of words. One has a long u sound that sounds like /yoo/ or /oo/, and one has another vowel sound. They need to listen carefully and decode each word. Remind children to pay attention to spelling clues that
