Once your child has learned the pattern associated with long U words, it's time to brush up their skills by asking them to identify some everyday items around them. Make different words using the long U words and guide them to practice throughout the learning process in a fun way.

Start with the basics. Pick the words which will have the O sound with curling of lips. Begin teaching with shorter words like blue or hue. After teaching the long U sound, the kids may mispronounce words like bug or cub. They may pronounce it as boog or coob. Hence, it is essential to differentiate such confusing phonics step by step.

Keep rectifying your child at each step and deal with them patiently. When you have online educational games on SplashLearn, it becomes easier to foster learning.
