About this resource
Description
R-controlled vowels are vowels that change their sound when they are followed by the letter r, as in car, her, bird, corn, and fur. This r controlled vowels words worksheet gives second graders focused practice reading and spelling words that use the ar, er, ir, or, and ur patterns. Because the r bends the vowel sound, these words can be tricky, so plenty of hands-on practice helps young readers master them.
This second grade r-controlled vowels practice worksheet uses a word bank and eight fill-in-the-blank sentences. Students read each sentence, decide which r-controlled word makes sense, and write it on the line. Have children read every word in the word bank aloud first, then read each sentence and cross out words as they use them. Working through the sentences one at a time builds both decoding and comprehension.
What’s Included
- 1 print-ready PDF worksheet
- Answer key
- A word bank and 8 fill-in-the-blank sentences
This r controlled vowels words worksheet helps kids learn in three ways. First, the word bank gives developing readers support while still asking them to choose the right word. Second, using each word in a real sentence connects phonics to meaning, so students learn what the words mean, not just how to sound them out. Third, the included answer key makes it fast for teachers and parents to check work and spot which patterns need more review.
For more practice, have children sort the words by their vowel pattern (ar, er, ir, or, ur), hunt for r-controlled words in a favorite book, or write their own silly sentences using words from the word bank. Teachers can turn the word bank into a quick spelling list or a word-wall activity, and parents can play a matching game with the words at home.
