R-Controlled Vowels Phonics Worksheets for 1st and 2nd Grade

What your child practices

R-Controlled Vowels gets a page by page workout here: 6 worksheets for 1st and 2nd grade (Grades 1 to 2 in Canada) and 54 questions of phonics practice. Work through the pages in order, since each one builds on the one before. Strong letter skills in the early grades free up a child's attention for reading and writing ideas, so steady, short practice pays off for years. The set includes ar: Picture Match, ar: Find and Build, or: Picture Match, or: Find and Build, er, ir, and ur: Picture Match and er, ir, and ur: Find and Build. Each sheet supports Common Core RF.1.3b, covering phonics and decoding words. Every PDF prints on US letter paper, with the answer key on page 2 for quick checking. After printing, the online version gives instant feedback and reads each question aloud.

Tips for parents

• Use a thick pencil or crayon for little hands, and trace with a finger first.
• Say the letter or sound aloud each time your child writes it.
• Let your child circle their best letter or word on each page.
