This Grade 2 r-controlled vowels worksheet explores UR words tied to everyday actions and feelings. Grade 2 students use hurry, curly, nurse, and turtle in fill-ins, then match each UR word to a clue that describes its meaning. Tackling two-syllable UR words strengthens decoding, spelling, and vocabulary all at once, preparing readers for richer chapter books. Great Grade 2 practice for real everyday r-controlled words.
