See how the same Deck changes for the classroom routine.
Students answer
Students complete a few multiple choice or matching Tiles while you listen for the misconception.
Regroup
Use missed Tiles to decide who needs another example for ar, er, ir, or, ur patterns and flexible decoding.
How this fits
Use LearnTiles to plan r-controlled vowels for teacher-led small-group instruction. The same Deck moves from class code to student play to a report-backed next step.

What can students practice in a r-controlled vowels lesson?
A good lesson can cover ar, er, ir, or, ur patterns and flexible decoding with quick feedback and a mix of interactive Tile formats.
