The R Controlled Vowel Song

Описание: 🎸 The R Controlled Vowel Song | Structured Literacy Through Music & Movement 🎶

Get ready to rock and READ!

In this high-energy music video, we tackle one of the trickiest parts of the alphabetic code — R-controlled vowels (ar, er, ir, or, ur). When R is the boss, the vowel changes its sound… and we’re singing it so kids will never forget it!

This song is designed to support:

✅ Science of Reading aligned instruction
✅ Explicit teaching of R Controlled Vowels
✅ Phonics lessons in Foundation, Year 1 and Year 2
✅ Tier 2 and Tier 3 intervention
✅ Whole-class movement breaks with purpose

Perfect for teachers, interventionists, and parents who want structured literacy concepts to stick through rhythm, repetition, and movement.

As a classroom teacher and dyslexia advocate, I created this song to help children feel the pattern, hear the pattern, and remember the pattern. Music activates memory — and when we move while we learn, we strengthen those neural pathways even more.

🎤 Use it:
• As a warm-up before phonics
• During explicit instruction
• For revision and review
• As part of your multisensory routine

If you believe literacy should be explicit, systematic, and joyful — this one’s for you.
