This Grade 2 r-controlled vowels worksheet focuses on the AR sound and where it appears in a word. Students sort arm, star, car, part, ark, and jar into beginning-position or later-position piles, then complete fill-ins and true-or-false questions. Grade 2 readers sharpen phonemic awareness by noticing that /ar/ can live at the start, middle, or end of words they read daily.
