What's the Bossy R?
When the letter " r'' follows a vowel, it changes the sound of the vowel. That's why it's called the Bossy R. It bosses the vowel around.
What's a Bossy R team?
Together the vowel and "r" make a team - a new sound. There are many Bossy R teams, but below are five (5) key teams:
ar
or
er
ir
ur
When "w" comes before a Bossy R team
When the letter "w" comes before a bossy r team, the w bosses the team around; it changes the team's sound. How ironic is that? The bossy r was bossy, and now the w is more bossy!
