Influence Of R

Worksheet Description

The “R-Controlled Vowels” worksheet is designed to enhance students’ understanding of R-controlled vowels and their influence on word pronunciation. It focuses on three common R-controlled vowel sounds: ARE sound, ER sound, and OR sound.

1. Students will encounter three boxes, each specifying an R-controlled vowel sound (ARE, ER, or OR).
2. In each box, students should write four words where the letter ‘R’ creates the indicated sound.
3. For example, in the “ARE sound” box, students will write words like “care,” “dare,” “scare,” and “bare.”

This activity encourages students to identify and apply their knowledge of R-controlled vowels in different word contexts, helping them recognize these sounds in everyday reading. This is often consider a bossy R skill worksheet. Bossy R refers to the letter “R” changing the sound of the vowel before it, creating a unique sound, as in “car,” “bird,” or “fur.” This worksheet would be considered part of that series.
