This CD contains great music for practicing the "R" sound at school, home, and in the car. The songs were written and performed by Jay Mankita and the Grooveniles.
Following are some tips to help you get started:
> Be patient. Learning to sing along takes repeated listening.
> Work at mastering one or two words at a time.
> Pick your favorites - you don't have to learn it all.
> Adults should exaggerate the "R" as they sing along.
There is no one way to teach the /r/ sound. Alida Engel has found that learning to pronounce the /r/ at the end of words is usually the easiest way to begin, as in are, car, where, hair, Pierre, bear, air, and chair ("R in the Car" tracks 2 and 3). To get a good /r/ sound, at some point the tongue and lips must both move, but initially, focus on moving the tongue independently from the lips. Most children and adults need this focus.
