Listen to these words:

Teaching Tip

A simple memory trick for children:

"When A meets R, it says /ar/!"

Examples:

  • car

  • star

  • farm

  • park

  • shark

This catchy phrase helps learners remember that the letter r changes the sound of a, making /ar/ one of the easiest R-controlled vowels to recognize.

Next, we'll continue with Lesson 20 – The /er/ Sound, and as before, we'll prepare a polished PDF for the lesson before moving on to the next one.
