Chubby Monkey | R-controlled Vowels er, ir, ur Folder Game and Spelling Worksheets

R-controlled vowels require loads of practice in both decoding and spelling! We just updated Chubby Monkey, one of our most favorite phonics folder games! Chubby Monkey includes a mix of r-controlled words with er, ir, and ur in a large, clear font for kids with dyslexia or other learning disabilities. The unique gameboard makes kids attend to the spelling patterns while they feed the monkey in the rainforest canopy. Extra worksheets are provided for kids to practice circling rules, decoding, and spelling those tricky r-controlled vowels. You may want to laminate the worksheets and use them as dry erase task cards or place them in a literacy center with a sand tray or other multisensory practice activity. The r-controlled words used in the game and worksheets are compatible with most Orton-Gillingham or other multisensory, systematic phonics programs.

Our games are designed to be played in 15 minutes or less, so they work great for homeschools to make phonics practice more fun. Tutors and special ed teachers love our folder games because they are easy to store, transport, and play in 1:1 sessions or during small group instruction. When you purchase this game, you will be able to download and print the game in full color. Mount the cover with directions and the 2-page gameboard to a letter-sized file folder. Print the movers and bananas on cardstock and laminate if you wish. Cut out the pieces and play! The only other thing needed is a regular 6-sided die.

Included in the set:
– Cover with Directions
– Teacher Instructions
– Gameboard
– Banana Pieces
– Character Movers
– PLUS, 4 pages of Spelling Worksheets
