About this resource

Enhance the teaching and learning of r-controlled vowels with our unique and interactive flower craftivity for UR words. This educational craft is designed to facilitate the understanding and recognition of words containing the bossy r words with common, easy to recognize images.

This resource contains four different UR word flower templates to practice r-controlled vowels.

What's Included:

  • There are 2 craft templates with pictures and words to simply create a flower.

  • There are 2 crafts templates for reading each word and matching it to the correct petal picture to create a flower.

Using this Resource:

  • Simply print the flower templates, and then allow the students to colour, cut out, and assemble into a flower on coloured construction paper.

  • You can also print the flower design onto coloured card stock to create a sorting activity. The flower will need to be cut apart and laminated. This allows the teacher to create an interactive literacy centre, where students can match pictures to the correct UR flower. Mix and match these with flowers of other r-controlled vowel flower crafts to encourage sorting words by their vowel sound.

Possible Applications:

  • Literacy Centres

  • Classroom decorations or bulletin board displays

  • Creative or Craft Sessions

  • Individual Work

  • Group-based Activities

  • Supplementary Homework

These flower craft templates are a perfect fit for educators seeking no-prep resources. All that is required is to print the craft page and distribute it to the students. Basic craft materials such as colouring tools, scissors, glue, and a base paper for the flower craft are needed. Each craft prints on a single page, promoting paper conservation, which aligns with an eco-friendly classroom.

Skills Addressed:

  • Identification of the UR words

  • Development of Scissors Skills

  • Ability to Follow Directions

Once these flowers are created, the teacher can create a bossy R flower garden display on a bulletin board, classroom door, or hallway.
