Week 1
(1) Pick ONE group of words to practice (see below)
(2) Say each word 10 times
(3) Click HERE each day you practice to submit your homework
This week is focused on many repetitions of simple, common words. If your child cannot produce these correctly even with your help, switch to modeling the words while your child watches and listens (have them count your productions to keep them engaged).
Base of tongue BACK (toward throat)
Sides of tongue UP
Voice on
light pink = where tongue touches top of mouth for this sound
âš Especially for R after vowels, please make sure your speech therapist has told you which group will be the most helpful to target and if homework should focus on the parent modeling while the child listens, or the child producing. Click HERE if you're looking for "R" at the beginning of words.

Homework Tip: While practicing these words, focus on the target sound ("R").
Don't worry about errors on other sounds your student can't produce yet.
For example, if they can't say "L," and they say "Fire" instead of "FLier" that's okay because we're focusing on "R."
