R-controlled vowels are vowels that are next to the letter "r" in a word and you cannot hear the vowel sound in the word because of that. Write examples of these words on the whiteboard, then practice reciting and spelling the words together. Explain that vowel pairs like "oo" or "oi" make a different sound then other long vowels, so they are special. To teach this, introduce the vowel patterns in one of the words previously mentioned. In each word, the vowels do not follow the rules of short or long vowel words. Words with special vowel sounds are boy, coin, cow, book and moon. Instead, the vowels make another type of vowel sound when paired together. Special vowel sounds are words where the vowel sounds do not follow the typical patterns of long and short vowels. For extra practice, have the students make long vowel words in groups. Tell the students to point out the long vowel words and circle them. In order for a vowel to be long, it must be paired with another vowel in a word or the word must end in "e." To make sure students understand this, write some long and short vowel words on the whiteboard or in chalk outside. For example, rain, like, paint and lake are all long vowel words. A "hard" vowel sound is when a vowel says its name in a word. Long vowel sounds are "hard" sounds vowels make.
