This episode was brought to you by: Here are a few units I recommend for students who are already at the sentence level or above (these include vocabulary and comprehension questions and are perfect for groups): /r/ readings with a landforms theme targeting science standards bundle: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/R-in-Readings-Bundle-Nonfiction-Reading-Passages-6343345r readings bloodsuckers bundle: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/R-Articulation-Readings-R-Articulation-Sentences-BLOODSUCKERS-6423675Tips discussed in this episode: By completing a thorough speech sample, we learn more about how and when (and if!) a student is using the /r/ soundCompleting a /r/ probe before we work on production will also make /r/ articulation speech therapy sessions be a lot less frustrating and more productiveUse consistent terms with your students when describing the /r/ sound (“lip sound” “tongue sound” and a “strong /r/” are some of my favorites)Get your students lips out of the way by asking them to smile or by using some of the tips abovePractice discrimination and see if your student can discriminate your productions as well as their own productions, either as old way /r/ sounds or strong /r/ soundsWorking on the /r/ sound is one of the trickiest sounds to work on in speech therapy. Remember to give it time. If it’s taking time, chances are - you are doing it right, it’s just going to take longer than you think it will.
