Suggestions for Additional Activities

1. Choose a word with one of the "r" controlled vowel forms (ar, er, ir, ur).  Say the word and hear the sounds.  Make new words that rhyme with the final sound.  For instance, if you choose bark, rhyming words would include dark, hark, lark, mark.  Notice that you can use alphabetic order to help build new words.  Just drop the beginning sound and substitute with the sounds of a,b,c,d and so on.  Some of these new words will make sense and some won't.
