Hello, Super Readers! Today we are going to go on an adventure with a special letter that has a big personality! Are you ready to meet Bossy R?

📖 What is Bossy R?

Bossy R is a letter that likes to tell the letters around it what to do. Have you ever heard of the R-controlled vowels? That's when the letter R comes right after a vowel and changes the sound of that vowel! For example, in the words car, her, and torn, Bossy R takes charge!
