What's Inside

Read this one-on-one and let your child listen for the "ur" sound as you give each clue. The book says, "We will discover many "ur" words as I give you delightful clues!"

Children practice hearing and reading controlled r words with the "ur" pattern. They also build phonics skills, spelling awareness, and word knowledge as they match clues to words.

It works well for children who are learning how words work and noticing sound patterns in reading. Read slowly, pause after each clue, and let your child say the word before you turn the page.
