This Grade 2 hard sheet uses multiple choice questions and fill-in sentences to test deep understanding of r-controlled vowels. Students choose the correct bossy R word for each sentence meaning and spell words with ar, or, er, ir, and ur. The worksheet pushes Grade 2 readers to think about sound, spelling, and meaning together, preparing them to tackle tricky r-controlled words independently in their own reading and writing.
