Considerations & Reminders

• Students must have a solid understanding of one-syllable words and r-controlled vowels before they move on to this skill.
• Students must have a solid understanding of syllabication (dividing up two-syllable words) as this skill requires the separation of two-syllable words.
• 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.
