About these handwriting worksheets: ur - longer words

Many words in English use the letters ur to spell the sound /er/. This sound is common in words like burden, occur, and turtle. In these words, the ur combination is pronounced like the er in her.

Here are two examples:

burden – The secret was a burden on Tim's mind.
occur – Dreams occur when you are asleep.

These words can be tricky because of the unusual spelling, so reviewing them will help you become more confident.
