This is so much fun learning with a bossy R controlled uno game.
Fun Uno-Style Educational Game
It helps students with reading R-controlled words
and they love playing it.
Playing Cards are grouped by colors for similar spellings
ar – or – ur – er – ir – ‘air’- ‘ear’ – ‘oar’
15 different Homophones (including a list with definitions)
158-word cards & 16 action cards (skip, draw 2, draw 4, wild)
The red and black text makes the decodable parts stand out.
Game Play Options
We play with cards face up, and it helps to improve their reading skills. This gives the whole group a chance to help each other when they spot a match, and it keeps everyone’s attention on reading the words.
To see the full description and list of words follow the link.
Teacher tip – The colored groups make it easy sort and to use these as flashcards.
Group By Sounds /er/
Often I will introduce just the /er/ sounds together ( er, ur, ir) and students are surprised at how quickly they can read now that they know how to decode the 3 different spellings that all make the same sound.
This game can be found in a group with other games.
Group By the /ar/ and /or/
The r-controlled /ar/ is one of the few times in English that a consonant letter gets to say it’s name. That makes is special. With the help of the silent vowel /a/ the consonant /r/ can now say it’s name. I like to introduce /ar/ and /or/ together and we play the game with just those two sounds, then combine all the cards to play the complete game.
