It can be difficult to make phonics practice engaging. Many times review involves printed worksheets where students simply fill in letters. Often not many pieces that are added in to grab and hold a student’s attention.

My goal has been to create a collection of phonics resources that will help to keep your learner involved. Hopefully this will lead to helping get your children excited when they see a phonics worksheet.

This specific set contains word families with the letter o. Some of the word families included are: uck, ud, up, and ub. Examples of the words you will find are pop, duck, mud, pup and truck.

Completing these “u” word family mazes

Students can choose a favorite pencil, colored pencil or thin marker to complete their maze and phonics practice.

Have students start where the star letters are at the top of the page. These letters will tell students the word family or families that each page focuses on.

Children should then follow the path. When they get to each box, they will fill in the missing letter or letters to complete the word. To complete the maze, they will land on the star.

These maze pages are provided in two different layouts. The first requires students to determine and fill in the letters on their own.

The second set gives students the letter choices on the side or top (depending on the layout of the practice page.)
