CVC 'um' Word Family Read, Cut and Reveal Worksheet
Children read five 'um' words (yum, gum, hum, mum, sum) by blending three sounds, check each one against a hidden picture (a yummy face, bubble gum, a child humming, a mum and a baby, and a sum) and write it, so they see that changing the first sound makes a new word.
