Description
So you finally have an R…. but only one variation! For some reason the student can’t seem to generalize to other forms of R. Well… don’t stress! That is what R Puzzles are for. This activity is designed specifically for those students who have trouble generalizing their R to every variation and word position. It is a concrete, visual way for them to understand that R shouldn’t fall apart just because it is being said in one position or the other.
↠ Pro Tip: Have the students start with the puzzle pieces farther apart as they produce their target word. As their accuracy improves, they can move the puzzle pieces closer together to speed up production and *finally* maintain that beautiful R sound!
