Description

In this web-based practice by Starfall, students will learn about the artist Ernie Barnes and will be able to see some of his paintings by playing an interactive movie. Students will be taught the "er" sound and be asked to identify the letters that make the "er" sound in given words. There also is a worksheet that students can print that asks them to write a response with a personal connection to one of Barnes' paintings.
