Grade 2 students explore long-u vowel teams ue and ew in words like blue and new, contrasted with short-u CVC words such as cup and bug. The worksheet includes nine fill-in-the-blank sentences and a matching activity pairing words with their vowel patterns. Each item has a helpful hint and a clear explanation, guiding Grade 2 learners to recognize common long-u spellings and short-u sounds. This practice supports CCSS RF.2.3a and builds spelling and decoding accuracy.
