Bossy R Worksheets | R-Controlled Vowels Look, Read & Trace | 30 Phonics Pages

Turn Bossy R Practice into a Word Detective Routine

Help students slow down, look closely, and read the whole word with 30 picture-based phonics worksheets. On every page, children study six pictures, compare three similar-looking or similar-sounding words for each picture, then circle and trace the word that matches. A familiar layout keeps the focus on reading rather than learning new directions.

What's Included

30 student worksheets with six picture-and-word items per page

180 practice items across the full set, with familiar words revisited in new page combinations

Three dotted tracing word choices for each picture

Mixed practice with ar, or, er, ir, and ur words, plus selected longer words

Mostly black-and-white pages with one tiny color accent

A colorful cover and a separate terms-of-use page

No separate answer key is included. The 30-page count refers to student worksheets only.

Skills Students Will Practice

Students practice reading r-controlled vowel words, noticing small differences between words, connecting a printed word to a picture, and tracing correct spellings. Some distractors use other vowel patterns, encouraging students to examine the entire word instead of guessing from its first letter.

Why Teachers Will Love This Resource

Six clearly separated rows, roomy dotted words, and a consistent routine make these pages easy to introduce. Repeated vocabulary in different combinations offers useful review, while the simple line-art layout keeps printing practical. Choose a page, review any unfamiliar picture vocabulary, and model one item before students begin.

Ways to Use These Worksheets

Use these pages for teacher-led phonics groups, literacy centers after modeling, homework, homeschool lessons, or review. Ask students to read all three choices aloud and explain which letters helped them choose. Adult support may be helpful for less familiar words and longer words.

Recommended Grade Levels

Designed for first and second grade students who have already been introduced to r-controlled vowel patterns. Select pages according to students' decoding and vocabulary knowledge. These worksheets provide practice rather than a complete instructional phonics sequence.
