This Grade 2 easy sheet introduces r-controlled vowels by sorting words into two sound groups: the ar or or sound and the er, ir, or ur /ur/ sound. Students sort simple bossy R words like car, for, bird, and curl, then complete fill-in sentences and true or false items. The worksheet builds listening skills so Grade 2 readers learn to hear bossy R inside common one-syllable words before tackling longer two-syllable r-controlled words.
