Grade 1 readers choose the correct bossy-r word when three non-r-controlled look-alikes serve as distractors. Four multiple choice items compare car to cat, cap, and can, or girl to gill, gig, and gift, training eyes to spot the hidden r pattern. Five fill-in sentences mix bossy-r answers like star and storm with non-bossy words like dog and hair, so kids must decide whether r is bossing the vowel before writing each final answer.
