R controlled Vowels

[Teaching1st]

Does anyone have any ideas on how to teach the r controlled or bossy r to your class? My teaching team has been trying to figure out a way to explain it to the kids so they "get it" better.

Thanks!

I love the picture of bossy r. He's a good visual reminder of what r does.
