The Yeet ER IR UR pack focuses on the three r-controlled vowel spellings: er, ir, and ur.
All three of these spellings can represent the same sound; the /er/ sound, which makes this pattern particularly important for both reading and spelling.
You’ll see words like: her, bird, turn, fern, shirt, nurse.
Even though the spellings are different, the vowel sound is the same, and that’s why this pack is such an important step in helping learners understand that English spelling is sound-based, but also pattern-based.
The er spelling in this context is most commonly found in the middle of words, and we draw attention to that when teaching.
The vocabulary ranges from lower-level to more complex words, making this pack flexible across year levels and ability levels.
You can extend this pack by:
• sorting by spelling
• comparing er, ir, and ur words
• discussing where each spelling commonly appears
• or moving into spelling once decoding is secure
This pack is powerful because it helps learners understand that multiple spellings can represent the same sound, and that’s a key part of becoming confident spellers.
Each Pack Contains 54 Cards made up of
1 Instruction Card
7 ‘yeet’ Cards
46 Vocabulary Cards.
Each pack of cards comes in a beautiful tuck box.
