@readingroots: Her bird was hurt. 🐦 Three spellings, one sound. er, ir and ur all say “er”. They’re called r-controlled digraphs, because the r takes charge of the vowel. There’s no rule for which spelling to use. Children just need to see these words often until the right one looks right. Practise er, ir and ur inside The Phonics App. Link in bio 💛 #phonics #learntoread #earlyreading #phonicstok
