Eunice Ulma Understands the Universe

Eunice Ulma Understands the Universe explores space and introduces cosmic vocabulary within sentences that rhyme. Talk about the new vocabulary and space exploration. Eunice Ulma is very intellectual and thinks hard about the universe. As you read this book, be sure to touch your forehead and say the short u “uh” sound as Eunice thinks about each new planet, constellation, or celestial body. Contrast this short sound with the unknown long “u” object she sees in the sky. Locate words within sentences throughout the book and listen for the u sound. Help the children which words have Eunice Ulma's short u and which have Miss U's long u sound. Be sure to have children write a book page about their favorite space object.
