Let’s go through the worksheet task step by step.
The instruction says:
“Circle the pictures that have a long Vowel U sound in them.”
And it tells us:
“Long U as in music” — so we’re looking for words where the letter “u” sounds like the “u” in “music” — which is pronounced “yoo” (like “you”).
Now let’s look at each word and say it out loud:
1.
Sun → says “sun” — short u sound (like “uh”) →
✘ Not long U
2.
Unicorn → says “you-ni-corn” — starts with “you” →
✔ Long U!
3.
Uniform → says “you-ni-form” — starts with “you” →
✔ Long U!
4.
Tub → says “tub” — short u sound →
✘ Not long U
5.
Bulb → says “bulb” — short u sound →
✘ Not long U
6.
Cube → says “kyoo-be” — the “u” sounds like “you” →
✔ Long U!
So the correct words to circle are:
→ Unicorn
→ Uniform
→ Cube
Final Answer:
Unicorn, Uniform, Cube
