Missing Middle

Worksheet Description

The “R-Controlled Vowels” worksheet is designed to reinforce students’ understanding of R-controlled vowels and their corresponding sounds. R-controlled vowels are vowels whose pronunciation is altered when followed by the letter ‘r.’ This worksheet focuses on the five common R-controlled vowel combinations: ir, ar, er, or, and ur.

1. Students will encounter words with R-controlled vowels where the middle sound is missing.
2. They will choose the correct R-controlled vowel sound from the options provided (ir, ar, er, or, ur).
3. Students will fill in the missing middle sound to complete each word correctly.

By engaging with these words, students will enhance their ability to recognize and apply the distinct sounds of R-controlled vowels.
