Funny you should ask. I have created these free Vocalic R Worksheets for speech therapy to help children work on speech sounds. Hello LeAnn, The six different vocalic combinations, [ar, air, ear, er, or, ire], are collectively called vocalic R, r-controlled vowels, or vowel R. If R comes before the vowel (prevocalic) it remains consistently consonantal (ribbon, race, ring, run, etc.). Multisyllabic words to decode have more than one syllable or vowel sound. Your child’s age and intelligibility are key determinants in deciding the course of treatment in most instances. Correcting the R Sound: A Primer ... - Mommy Speech Therapy Open the box is an open-ended template. Thank you for your commitment. The “bumping” is almost gone, but the ‘r’ hasn’t improved. Keep the therapy session fun by printing out the therapy cards twice and do some scavenger hunts, memory match, or card games with them. The main substitution or misproduction for prevocalic /r/ is w/r substitution as in wed for red. His only trouble now is with the “r” sound. The earlier that the intervention starts for your child, the quicker that the disorder can be addressed and corrected. You already have years of the habitual incorrect production of the R sound to overcome. We moved to a very rural area, and I am not able to find a SLP in the town.

I have a meeting with the therapist in 2 weeks’ time to go over the treatment plan etc. Ask her if she has had a chance to test him for all the vocalic variations of the r phoneme and what the results are from that test. His classroom teacher mentioned that she noticed some articulation issues in class. The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association, “Speech Therapist 2.0 – Designed for parents, fits in your hand.

Vocalic R Word Lists Drill Speech Therapy FREEBIE Nothing fancy, just a page of words for 6 vocalic /r/ sounds (air, ar, ear, er, or, ire) to use in drill or for homework. Will you be sending homework? We’ve recently moved to Northern Utah and her new school SLP doesn’t recognize her ‘bump’ (I know it’s affecting her reading tests), and so far only tells her to keep her teeth together and not move her lips when trying to say “r” – which is always words beginning with ‘r’. My son too is having a problem in ‘R’, CH, sh, Z letters. My first suggestion would be to have your son evaluated by a Speech-Language Pathologist to determine specifically which vocalic r’s he struggles with and to get recommendations on which vocalic r they recommend starting with. final /er/ words Created in Boardmaker ©2012 www.heatherspeechtherapy.com .
