Goopaw says get ready to Meet Bossy R (ER, IR, UR). Remember, when R follows e, i or u, it makes the pair say /er/. One way to spell /er/ is with the letters ER. If you hear /er/ sound in the second syllable at the end of a word, it's mostly likely the ER spelling. Another way to spell /er/ is with the letters IR. They spell /er/ inside the word if it's followed by the sounds /d/, /an/, /m/, /t/, or /th/. Finally, UR can spell /er/ in the beginning, middle or end of a word. Here is an example. Water.
