To solve this worksheet, we need to look at each picture and say the word for it. Then, we listen to the middle sound of that word. We are looking for the
long u sound, which sounds like "yoo" (like in the word
unicorn).
Let's go through the pictures one by one:
1.
Tube: The word is *tube*. It has the long u sound ("t-yoo-b").
Circle this.
2.
Tube of toothpaste: This is also a *tube*. It has the long u sound.
Circle this.
3.
Tree: The word is *tree*. The middle sound is 'r', not long u. Do not circle.
4.
Cube: The word is *cube*. It has the long u sound ("c-yoo-b").
Circle this.
5.
Goat: The word is *goat*. The middle sound is 'o'. Do not circle.
6.
Train: The word is *train*. The middle sound is 'r'. Do not circle.
7.
Glue: The word is *glue*. It has the long u sound ("g-l-yoo").
Circle this.
8.
Bucket: The word is *bucket*. The middle sound is a short 'uh' sound, not the long "yoo" sound. Do not circle.
9.
Mule: The animal being led is a *mule*. It has the long u sound ("m-yoo-l").
Circle this.
10.
Cheese: The word is *cheese*. The middle sound is 'ee'. Do not circle.
11.
Juice: The word is *juice*. It has the long u sound ("j-yoo-s").
Circle this.
12.
Suit: The clothing item is a *suit*. It has the long u sound ("s-yoo-t").
Circle this.

* The white tunnel (
tube)
* The pink tube of paste (

* The puzzle block (
cube)
* The bottle with the orange cap (
glue)
* The donkey-like animal (
