Because there are two ways to pronounce long u, it is the most complex of long vowel sounds to teach. I’m going to break down each of the eight ways to spell the long u sound, and the best activities to help you teach long u words to your students.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Looking for a long u word list?

I know I didn’t learn that in school but it’s true. Let’s look at an example below.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Say tube and cube. Notice how u in tube makes more of an /oo/ sound while in cube it sounds more like /y/ /oo/. Those are the two different long u sounds.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  There is some confusion and discussion over whether the /y/ /oo/ sound is a diphthong (2 vowels making 2 sounds together, like oi/oy). Truly, it doesn’t matter what it’s called as long as you teach students how to read and spell them correctly.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Now let’s go over the different ways to spell these sounds.

Students should also be able to find the base word, as some of these rules apply to the base word even if it has a suffix.

Some examples include pupil, tulip, and student. It can make either the /oo/ or the /y/ /oo/ sound. Students must understand how to split words into syllables and know what open syllables are.

This one is usually in the middle of a base word. Examples include cute, rule, and fume. It can make either the /oo/ or the /y/ /oo/ sound. Of course, students should be confident with the magic e syllable.

This is another one that can make both long u sounds. Examples include few and dew.

Examples include due and cue. As you can see it can make both long u sounds. This is not used very often.

Examples include feud and Europe. This one always makes the /yoo/ sound.

There are some common words like fruit and juice with this spelling, but not many other words use this spelling pattern for the long u sound. This one only makes the /oo/ sound.

They both have to be explicitly taught.

Use the words mew and moo, with a picture of a cat for mew and a picture of a cow for moo.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Say this: “Say mew.

You can use the picture of the cat and cow to help guide students on the correct pronunciation, although most won’t need this.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  When students are sounding out words and they don’t know which sound to go with, tell them to try both and see which sounds right.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Remember that students should always split unknown words into syllables as they try to sound them out.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Students should first break the word into its syllables, and try to eliminate some spelling options. So for example, if they are trying to spell the word human, they should know it won’t be with ew because that spelling option is usually at the end of a base word. If they still ask, you can cue them with something like ‘it’s the end of a syllable so what do you think can go there?’ Guide them in choosing the correct spelling pattern.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  You can also use the guide words approach, where you choose one guide word for each spelling pattern to use as the reference. So for ew, you can use the word few. Then you can cue by saying, “u like in few“.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Also, because there are multiple options expect students to get them wrong sometimes, and tell them this! It’s ok if they make mistakes as long as it’s another valid spelling option and not something that doesn’t follow any rules. Through repeated exposure and practice they will eventually internalize the correct spelling pattern for words.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Lots of practice and repeated exposure are the names of the game with the long u sound. Do a variety of activities repeating the words as many times as you can.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Phoneme Grapheme Mapping – This is a great activity that really isolates the phonograms for students to practice. You can get the Phonics & Spelling Through Grapheme Mapping book and follow the long u lesson, or use my long u word list to do the same activity using sound boxes. See below for an example.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Create short stories to help anchor the spelling patterns. – Group similar words together and create a short story using them to help students remember them For example, with oo, you could say ‘The pool was too cool so we ate our food’ or something like that. Draw a picture or create your own poster with images of words with this spelling pattern and put it up in your room.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  SOS – If you don’t already know what Simultaneous Oral Spelling is, then check out this post here. I love this multisensory spelling method for practicing spelling. And you can do this whole class or one on one making it really easy to use in any setting.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Dictation – This is another fantastic activity but I would do this after you have spent some time on long u because it is harder for some students. Also when dictating words, give students a clue about the spelling such as telling them it’s a vowel team or open syllable. I often dictate words that all have the same spelling pattern to avoid these problems.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Sorting – Sorting is always a good idea when you have multiple options for spelling. You can play matching games like memory, just sort them into piles/columns, or create any game that requires sorting by spelling pattern. This builds phonemic awareness so it’s always a good activity for all students.

I took the list from the SOS activity, then had my student highlight each vowel team in a specific color to more visually show the groups.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Picture cue cards – Create visual graphics of tricky words, homophones, and homographs. These picture cues really help students remember which pattern to use. I suggest you make these using index cards and keep them in a baggie or box for reference. See an example below (it’s for a long o sound but you get the idea).

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Games – Of course, I always include games because it’s just so easy to add a stack of flashcards to any game and make it educational! Use an easy to play board game where students need to pick up a card on their turn and add a task like reading the word aloud and sorting it, or asking another player to spell it, or even something as simple as having them air write the word after reading it aloud. Or print off a teacher-made game from my Long U Word Work set.

I create a stack of long u words flashcards and play, having students pick up a card and read it aloud then write it on their turn.

Using a sound wall or phonogram drills are great ways to do this without it taking up a lot of time.

Draw and color a traffic light. If all the tasks were completed correctly, turn on the green light, if there were minor difficulties, turn on the yellow light, and if it was very difficult, turn on the red light.

To learn the correct pronunciation, we have developed a recipe: we take a “bunch” of similar sounds, compare them with each other and with their Russian counterparts. Then we practice pronunciation and literally “train” the speech apparatus to the correct position with the help of several dozen example words and tongue twisters.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  A line from a famous song will help to fix the result, which will cut into the auditory memory and will not let you forget the sound!

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Today we will take sounds similar to the Russian sound |у| is a long diphthongoid |uː|, short |ʊ| and the diphthong |ʊǝ|.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Long sound |uː| – round but not stick out

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Pronounced in words goose, too, rule , etc. This sound is very similar to ours, but there are two main differences:

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  1. English | uː | is a diphthongoid. That is, this is one sound, but we hear in it the “overtone” of the second sound (also | u |, but deeper), because the tongue and lips slightly change their position during pronunciation: the tongue moves back and up in the oral cavity. The lips are visibly rounded at the beginning and become even more rounded as the tongue moves.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  2. To speak English | uː | lips are rounded, but not protruding forward. To see the difference, compare the two pictures. At the first, Russian-speaking singer Keti Topuria pronounces the word « at I fly» in the song of the same name. In the second picture, the English-speaking presenter from the previous video says one of the example words.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Think you can see the difference? 🙂

For example, in the words f ew, n ew, t une — we first pronounce the hard consonant and only then raise the middle back of the tongue to the hard palate for | | ju: |.

Firstly, the position of the tongue: it is not tense, pulled back, but not very far (in the Russian version, the tongue is pulled back further). The back of the tongue rises to the front of the soft palate not so high — up to half the distance.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  The second important difference is the position of the lips: they don’t round as much. In fact, the lips need to be rounded, as for our | o |, but the mouth is not open so wide. The lips hardly protrude.

Let’s start the conversation with what a diphthong is in principle. This is a combination of two vowels that are in one syllable . That is, when pronouncing this sound, the position of the vocal apparatus changes , but at the same time you pronounce these “two sounds” together, without dividing them into syllables (as you divide, for example, in the Russian word p oe t — where «to» and «et» are two separate syllables).

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Do not confuse diphthong and diphthong oid (like the long |u: | we talked about above). In diphthong and the “overtone of the second sound” is similar in quality to the main sound, and in diphthong the two components of the sound are very different from each other.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  In a diphthong, one part is a syllable-forming core (strong sound), and the second is a weak, muffled sound (I would say “sound echo”).

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  In our today’s diphthong | ʊǝ | syllable-forming element is the sound | ʊ | (we just learned how to pronounce it). The second weak element is the “seam” sound, which we talked about in another article. Only within this diphthong does it become even more faceless and unexpressed.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  I must say right away that this diphthong in English is not so frequent. Moreover, in some words in modern English it is replaced by either the sound | ɔ: |, or simply on | ʊ | (especially in American English), or into 2 syllables: long sound | u: | + | ə |.

First, do the following: say the word look |lʊk| several times (just in case, follow the link and speak along with the voice acting). Now, without changing the position for the sound | ʊ |, say the word lure |lʊə r |. Ready!

I repeat: there are not many of them.
