Not only will you find pictures, there are also mazes and other puzzles to keep these pages engaging for your child.

Looking at the Words

Words contained in these long vowel + r pages contain the letter combinations air, ear, eer, eir, err and ier. You hear a long vowel sound followed by an r sound.

Examples of these words are fair, hear, deer and heir.

These are words that students in second grade might be ready to work on. Some are tricky to spell! It can be difficult for students to remember which words have an eer and an ear.

Practice with Words Containing a Long Vowel + R

Looking for a way to practice these words before using the worksheets? It might be helpful to have a child choose four words and then illustrate the word.

Or, you can give your child a list of words and they can sort them using the letter combination found in each word.

I have had a few requests from speech therapists looking for worksheets to help with r articulation. As a SLP, these worksheets can assist you when working on vocalic r sounds.

About These Long Vowel + R Worksheets

This set contains 16 printable pages where students will work with words containing the letter combinations air, ear, eer, eir, err and ier. Students will complete words and color pictures while identifying the missing letters.

These pages might fit into your second or third grade word work practice. Your first grade readers may not be ready for these combinations yet. Of course, if you have children who are ready, go ahead and share with them!

The pages you will find here are not beginning phonics practice pages. There are many multi syllable words.

These pages are designed to provide engaging practice for students. You will find mazes, a word search and other fun ways to work on these sounds.
