The ai and ar Sounds

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet
This The ai and ar Sounds worksheet also includes:
  • Answer Key
  • Join to access all included materials

These words sound the same but are spelled differently, giving scholars a chance to practice spelling patterns and rhyming words. First they read that the /ai/ vowel sound can be made with three different spellings. Learners label three pictures, each of which uses a different spelling for this sound. For each, they record a second word that has the same pattern (and will rhyme). They do the same for the /ar/ sound, labeling six pictures and recording more words with this sound. Do any class members have these sounds in their first or last names?
