Source: Make, Take & TeachConsiderations & Reminders
- Students should be taught that the “r” in r-controlled vowels makes a variance in the way the vowel is articulated. However, the /r/ should not be overly exaggerated so that students grasp proper articulation of the r-controlled vowels.
- Not all vowels are controlled by “r.” This can be determined by comparing the sound of the vowel before “r” to the sound of the vowel in a word that has a regular phonics pattern. E.g., in the following words: tire/tide, boar/boat, moor/moot, our/out, and hear/heat, the vowel sound doesn’t change therefore the word do not contain r-controlled vowel (Source: Kathi Crittenden – PBworks).
- R-controlled vowels can be very difficult for ELLs to pronounce. Using a mirror and extended practice (listening and repeating words that contain r-controlled vowels) can help with proper pronunciation.
