Phonics ir Words
This low prep ir game is a great way to get children readingr-controlled vowels.
Why do we have to have so many ways of spelling the same sound?
Sometimes it is easy.
If you hear the /oy/ sound in the middle of the word, you use /oi/.
If it is at the end of a word or syllable, we use /oy/.
But then we have these pesky r-controlled vowels.
Without any rules to help our little readers, you have three ways of making the /er/ sound.
We can use /er/ to make words like in fern or helper.
But did you know we can also use /ur/ to make the exact same sound.
Yep, you’re able to use that /ur/ to create words like blur or scurry.
And we can not leave out the /ir/.
It also makes the /er/ sound.
Words like bird, whirl, and confirm use the /ir/ to make the exact same sound.
And that is what this ir game is all about.
