Supporting your child’s ability to listen really carefully to sounds is a great way to help with their talking. One way we can do this is with auditory bombardment. During auditory bombardment your child listens to a targeted sound in words over and over again.. This approach gives your child the opportunity to hear the sound they are struggling with lots of times with no pressure for them to say the words.

How to do it
  1.  This link will take you to a list of R words to read to your child.
  2. Read the word list to your child 1-2 times daily.  Ask them to listen carefully to the words you read.  Make sure you’re in a quiet place, free from distractions when the list is read.  
  3. Make sure your child understands that they are only to listen. Ask them to sit quietly. They should NOT be asked to repeat the words. 
  4. DON'T OVER-EMPHASIZE THE WORDS. Just speak clearly and at a relaxed pace (as if you were reading a story to them).

*R is also one of the most difficult and complex sounds to make
*The R sound is influenced by the sounds that come before and after it.  In fact, there are over 30 sound variations of the R sound because of this.
*There are also different ways to produce the R sound.  In fact, everyone does it just a bit different which makes teaching this sound challenging.  
*Because of these reasons (and a few more not listed), the R sound can take some time to master. For children who do not develop a correct R sound on their own, frequent practice and repetition of the sound will be required. ]]> 2022-02-09 21:26:58 UTC https://padlet.com/dschiavone2/vishuyex0wh8d9gd/wish/2038931691 dschiavone2 https://padlet.com/dschiavone2/vishuyex0wh8d9gd/wish/2038975619 2022-02-09 22:02:37 UTC https://padlet.com/dschiavone2/vishuyex0wh8d9gd/wish/2038975619 dschiavone2 https://padlet.com/dschiavone2/vishuyex0wh8d9gd/wish/2038976945 2022-02-09 22:03:29 UTC https://padlet.com/dschiavone2/vishuyex0wh8d9gd/wish/2038976945 The Hooway For Rodney Rat by Helen Lester is a fun way to work on auditory discrimination of the R and W sounds. dschiavone2 https://padlet.com/dschiavone2/vishuyex0wh8d9gd/wish/2038990180 Read the story and talk about the how the words that Rodney says sound different than what he means.  For example, "west/rest, wosey/rosey, wodent/rodent,
