🌟 “or” as an R-Controlled Vowel When “o” is followed by “r”, the vowel sound changes to /or/ like in the word corn. ⸻ 🧃 Sound: 🗣️ “or” says /or/ — like more, fork, storm ⸻ 🧸 Examples of “or” Words: • corn • fork • horn • storm • short • north • torch • port • popcorn • morning ⸻ 🎯 Quick Rule: When the letter o is followed by r, the o doesn’t say its usual sound — it says /or/ instead. ⸻ 📌 Fun Activity Idea: “Or Word Treasure Hunt” Hide “or” words around the room (e.g., corn, fork, storm).
