First graders trace six ar-blend and ar-ending words including park, bark, farm, harm, cart, and dart, then finish four sentences by writing the missing bossy-r word. Three true or false prompts check whether kids hear the 'ar' sound and notice that r changes the short a into a new sound. Hints and explanations guide emerging readers to blend consonants with ar confidently across familiar classroom and playground contexts.
