UFLI Foundations Toolbox
R-Controlled Vowels Unit Resources (Lessons 77-83)
When a vowel is followed by an R, the sound of the vowel often changes and is said to be controlled by the vowel. There are three main r-controlled vowel sounds: the /ar/ sound, as in barn; the /or/ sound, as in corn; and the /er/ sound, as in fern, bird, and curl. The lessons in this unit are designed to build students’ proficiency in reading and spelling words that contain r-controlled vowels.
