Color the Chunk – Short u Word Families

I love how visual these pages are, helping that word family chunk to jump off the page! The short u word families included in this pack are: -ug, -ut, -un, -ub, -ump, and -uck.

As with all our other word family color the chunk pages, there are two levels.

 

Color the Chunk -ug level 1 example

With Level 1, learners simply color* the chunks, then read the words.

*Older, struggling readers may prefer to underline or use highlighter to highlight the chunks.

 

Color the Chunk -ug family level 2 example

With Level 2, learners color the chunk, read the words, and circle only the real words (not the nonsense words).

*Level 2 does not have a page for -ump or -uck. It seems we’re stuck again with too many inappropriate words. So sad.

 

Keep scrolling to grab the freebies or grab the entire bundle pack at my shop.
