It would be very useful if in the text we had a different color on the sound we should focus on. Thank you
What a nice story, I did enjoy it (A lot!).
Here Comes The Bossy R!.
Assignment:
Complete the text while listening to the Audiostory. Then, record yourself reading it out loud.
There once was a girl named Pipper who grew up without her father_. One day, she asked her mother how she would be able to remember her father if she never knew him.
‘At birth’ her mother said, ‘your skin was purple, like a berry! At church they said it was a curse so I went to see a wizard who told me to feed you garlic. I did as he said, gathered some herbs, added the garlic and prepared an elixir. You drank a whole glass but your skin went from purple to green!’
Desperate, her mother took her to see a nurse. ‘I know what can help her skin turn pink, like yours!’ said the nurse, and she gave Piper turkey slices. But, sadly, this did not help and it only made the little girl very thirsty. And, just when Piper’s mother was about to give up, she met a very smart pirate.
This pirate had been to many places in his lifetime but his favorite one was a secret island. ‘On this island, magical things happen!’ said the pirate. ‘You must believe me when I tell you this kind of magic can turn her skin as white as snow’. He promised to take Piper and her mother to the island in exchange for a hot meal and a place to stay for the night. After eating three bowls of Piper’s mother’s special soup, he fell asleep right on the table. The next morning, the three of them went on board and the ship set sail.
When they got to the island, the pirate led them through a dark cave. Inside, they found the most colorful feather. The pirate grabbed it and gave it to Piper’s mother. ‘If you tickle the girl with the feather and she laughs, your wish will come true.’ The mother did as he said and the girl laughed so hard that her skin started getting brown! ‘She has her father’s skin!’ The mother cried.
‘So, if you want to remember your father,’ her mother said, ‘just look in the mirror. A beautiful part of him will always be with you even if he is not around’.

A good history
awww cute story
**Class 4 practice**

We are gonna look at pre-R vowels:
```js
/ɪr/
/er/
/ɑːr/
/ɔːr/
/ʊr/
/ɝ/
/ɚ/
```
In many English words, /r/ comes after a vowel sound.
```js
fear
far
for
fair
```
/r/ sound is always pronounced and it influences the vowel sound. This is known as `r-coloring`.
In accents such as the British accent, /r/ is not pronounced unless it occurs before a vowl sound (e.g. rain).
# **Pre-r vowels**
```js
/ɪr/ -> near
/er/ -> square
/ɑːr/ -> start
/ɔːr/ -> north
/ʊr/ -> cure
/ɝ/ -> nurse
/ɚ/ -> letter (weak vowel)
```
