Are you teaching r-controlled vowel sounds and teaching your students all the ways to spell the ar sound? If you're looking for low-prep phonics activities to use in your Grade 1 phonics or Grade 2 phonics lessons, these decodable word cards with ar sound words can be used to consolidate early phonics skills such as blending and segmenting with the r-controlled vowel sound ar.
Students will love clipping or placing a counter on the correct spelling of words with different ar phoneme spellings.
IMPORTANT: Please note that this resource assumes an accent where both 'ar' and 'a' can make the /ar/ phoneme. E.g. dark, farm and path, fast.
There are two different card options included:
- Pick the correct grapheme (choose between ar and a spellings)
- Pick the correct spelling
