Bossy R, otherwise known as "r-controlled vowels"

The syllable contains a single vowel followed by an R

ar, er, ir, or, ur

The word is neither long nor short; it is controlled by the r

Can be combined with other syllables to make multisyllabic words.

Important to teach as it changes the sounds of the vowels they have previously learned.

Using what we just learned about Bossy R, I will read this poem as you follow along.

1. Using your pencil or fingers, follow along, noticing what words may have Bossy R in them.

2. I will reread the poem. This time, I want you to underline any words that have a r-controlled vowel.

3. If you finish early, go back and scoop your word.

a. Remember: a scoop represents a syllable.

b. Circle the r-controlled vowel and write an R below your scoop to show it is a Bossy R vowel.

4. Check with your partner to see if you both have the same words marked and circled!
