What It Is:
This is a phonics worksheet focusing on the 'er' and 'ir' R-controlled vowels. The worksheet has two columns labeled 'ER' and 'IR'. Below the columns is a section with words in boxes to be cut out, including words like 'her,' 'herb,' 'clever,' 'dinner,' 'paper,' 'mother,' 'bird,' 'girl,' 'third,' 'skirt,' 'shirt,' and 'circle'. The instructions are to cut out the words, glue them into the correct column based on whether they contain 'er' or 'ir', and then color and say the words.
