OR (for) Sound Multisyllable Word List
The four lists of r-controlled vowels (/ar/, /or/, /er/, and /err/) have all words in the database that contain any spelling of the target sound. They are arranged both by spelling and by the chunk that the spelling occurs. It can be a valuable resource for locating words to illustrate a certain pattern or to find words to practice reading that pattern.
Of the 7,000 words in the database constructed from a popular children’s dictionary, 183 of them are multisyllable words containing the vowel sound /or/.
Note on the word divisions: Each word is divided into chunks determined by the unique and effective OnTrack Reading Multisyllable Method. The chunks are not syllables.
Although the OnTrack Reading curriculum emphasizes making a “perfect pronunciation” for spelling, most words ending in "or" will be found on the list of /er/ spellings.
