Read some world like actor or worst and use the the /or/ sound.

Continue to explain that when that happens, we can give it another spin with the /er/ sound.

Now hand them a word that you have cut out.

Let them read it first having the /or/ make the /or/ sound.

Ask them, Is that a word?

If it is, then have them place it under the correct doctor.

If it isnt say, Lets try it again with the /er/ sound.

When they acknowledge that this is a word, have them that word under the correct doctor.
