Review

r-controlled, ar, or, er, ir, ur, se/ve/ze

In this lesson, we learned the R-controlled Syllable Type.

It is identified by a single vowel is followed by an r. The vowel sound is controlled by the ‘r.’

R-controlled Syllables

• ar – car – /ar/
• or – horn – /or/
• er – her /er/
• ir – bird /er/
• ur – burn /er/

We also learned the ve/se/ze Spelling Pattern Generalization.

An /s/, /v/ and /z/ is spelled with se, ve, and ze at the end of words. This is a job of e. No English word ends in v or z and only a few irregular words (like was) ends in s.

Examples:  horse, serve, blaze
