Vowel Words: or, er, ur
Introduction:
Welcome to the exciting world of R-Controlled Vowels!
This book will help you learn and practice three special vowel sounds: or, er, and ur. These vowels are “controlled” by the letter r, which changes their sound just a little—but enough to make them fun and interesting!
Each section includes colorful pictures, word lists, and examples to help you read and say words correctly. You’ll see how the same “r” can sound different in storm, tiger, and nurse!
