Phonics and Word Sounds Assessment

Mrs. Holmes introduces R-controlled vowels and reviews trick words for units 6-8. The lesson covers the sounds of R-controlled vowels AR and OR, and reviews long vowel sounds for I and U. Students learn how R-controlled vowels can change word meanings and practice with word pairs. The lesson also explores spelling variations with OR and ORE, and concludes with two-syllable R-controlled words.
