Get the free /r/ articulation flashcard kit
/r/ is one of the hardest sounds to teach — and the most requested. This kit includes vocalic R warm-up cards, cue cards for every R position, and high-frequency flashcards from prevocalic through IRE. Built for real sessions, not just drill.
Why This Works
/r/ is a motor skill. Treat it like one.
/r/ is one of the last sounds to be acquired and one of the hardest to teach because it's invisible — you can't see the tongue position from the outside. These materials use motor learning principles: show the movement, build the pattern, practice across contexts.
TEACH PLACEMENT
Warm up + cue cards
The Vocalic R Warm Up uses known vowel mouth positions to guide the tongue into ER. Cue cards show the transition visually for each R position.
BUILD THE PATTERN
High-frequency flashcards
Each card targets a functional word at word, phrase, and sentence level — covering all vocalic positions. High repetition across real words builds a strong motor pattern.
Work Every Position
All 7 R positions covered
Prevocalic, ER, AR, AIR, OR, EAR, IRE — each position has its own cue card and flashcard set so you can target exactly where the child is struggling.
FROM THE CREATOR
Made by a clinician who still uses these.
I'm Bridget — an SLP with nearly 20 years of experience and the creator of Speech Therapy Talk. /r/ is the sound I've worked on the most in private practice. These materials reflect what actually works in a real session with a real child.
This kit is a sample from the Speech Therapy Talk Membership — a library of 4,400+ articulation and language materials in English and Spanish.
