Easter R-Controlled Vowels Color by Number

Inside the case file

Color by number and an Easter picture appears! In this color-by-number activity, students read each R-controlled (bossy R) word, match it to the color key, and fill the grid square by square — no worksheets, no prep, just a link.

Send the link and let the mystery picture do the motivating. Every square colored correctly brings the hidden Easter image into view, and the self-checking design keeps students on track.

The activity

A hidden Easter picture is waiting under the grid. Students read each bossy R word, find the matching color in the key, and color the squares to reveal the surprise.
