Are you looking for a phonics activity to help students consolidate r-controlled vowel er words?
In this fun problem-solving activity, students solve one clue at a time, with each answer changing only one sound from the word before it, working through a chain like tern, term, germ, perm, perk, jerk while reinforcing the er phoneme.
Two mat formats are included so you can match the level of support to each student: a blank version where students work out every word in the chain from the clues alone and a version with the first word already given to help them get started.
What's included:
13 coloured mats with no words provided
13 coloured mats with the first word given, guiding students through a matching word chain
Worksheets in black and white for both versions
