Chalk Talk: The Short ‘U’ Sound
The short ‘U’ sound is one of the vowel sounds students are introduced to at the primary grade levels. Words such as bug, cub, and mud contain this sound. These words all follow a CVC (consonant-vowel-consonant) pattern, which almost always contain short vowels. In contrast, words that follow a CVCV (consonant-vowel-consonant-vowel) pattern and end in ‘E,’ generally have a long ‘U’ sound (e.g.: fume and huge). Words that begin with an ‘U’ sometimes—but not always—have a short ‘U’ sound; examples are ugly and umbrella. Words that have ‘U’ followed by double-Z’s, such as fuzz and buzz, make a short ‘U’ sound as well.
