Ask where the er lives in hammer, then in tiger, then in winter. Most children notice on their own that er tends to finish longer words while ir and ur sit tucked in the middle, as in bird, skirt, and burn. That moment of noticing is what makes the spelling stick.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere This Fits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChildren are ready for this workbook once they read CVC words confidently and have worked through consonant blends. R-Controlled Vowels sit early in the Green Series because the pattern shows up constantly in everyday reading, and the long vowel phonograms follow naturally after it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstant digital PDF download.
