DECODABLE BOOKS
Practice R-Controlled Vowels
Use these books to practice words with R-controlled vowels. When the letter 'r' comes after a vowel, it changes the sound of that vowel. Some teachers may call these "bossy R" words.
Example Words: cart, fork, herd, turn, bird
Roll & Read: use these word lists to practice reading words with your child. You can have them roll a dice and then read one word or all the words under the number they roll. You can also play together and take turns rolling and reading words. This is also a great time to ask them questions about what the words mean and teach them new words.
