ClassX Video Lessons Grade Grade 2 The IR Sound – Bossy R Song and Practice | ABC Phonics Song with Sounds for Children
Today, we’re going to learn about a special sound made by the letters “i” and “r” when they come together. This sound is “er,” and it can be a bit like a gentle growl. Let’s have fun exploring some words that use this sound!
Here are some words where “i” and “r” team up to make the “er” sound. Try saying them out loud:
Great job practicing! Each of these words has the “er” sound made by “i” and “r.” Can you think of any other words that might have this sound?
Did you know that the “er” sound can also be found in words with different letters? For example, “her” and “term” also have the “er” sound, but they use “e” and “r” instead of “i” and “r.” Isn’t that interesting?
Keep listening for the “er” sound in the words you hear every day. The more you practice, the better you’ll get at spotting it! Thanks for learning with us today. Keep having fun with words!
Sound Hunt: Go on a sound hunt around your home or classroom. Listen carefully for words that have the “er” sound. When you hear one, write it down or draw a picture of what the word represents. Can you find at least five words with the “er” sound? Share your findings with a friend or family member and see if they can think of more words!
Word Creation Station: Use letter tiles or cards to create new words with the “ir” combination. Mix and match different letters to see how many “ir” words you can come up with. For example, start with “b” and add “ir” to make “bird.” How many new words can you create? Try to use these words in a sentence and share them with your classmates.
Story Time with “IR”: Create a short story using as many “ir” words as you can. It can be a silly story about a bird with a quirk or a thirsty sir in a circle. Illustrate your story with drawings and share it with your class or family. How many “ir” words did you use in your story?
