Phonics: R-Controlled Vowels (Lesson 14)
Add to favorites tutorial[toggle Title=”#”]
When a vowel is followed by an r, it makes a special sound. These are called r-controlled vowels, or r-colored vowels. These phonemes are as follows:
- /ar/ sound as in car, guitar, Arthur
- /âr/ sound as in care, bear, mare, scare, aquarium
- /îr/ sound as in pier
- /ir/ sound as in turnip, spider, certificate, and beaver
- /or/ sound as in manor, observatory, author, brought, and orchard
- /er/ sound as in butter, cutter, and mother
Usually, /ar/ always sounds like the ar in car, and /or/ always sounds like the or in for. The ir, er, and ur, sound the same as in bird, her, and fur. These all make a /ər/ sound.
