This week we are focusing on r controlled vowels otherwise known as the “bossy-R” chunks. These are chunks that all make the same sound as “er.” They are -er, -ir-, -ur.
The words are:
- first
- shirt
- chirp
- term
- clerk
- curve
- surf
- burst
- hurt
- were
The test on Friday will include these as well as 5 additional words that follow the same pattern.
