Parenting Hack: Teach Your Kids to Say R Correctly

[@AngelaProffitt-du9je]

I'm a speech-language pathologist and there's 2 ways to produce /r/. This is an example of the retroflexed /r/. The other option is a bunched /r/.

I won’t speak for everyone else, but I don’t put the tip of my tongue on the roof of my mouth to make the R sound

[@carolineboden3927]

there are two different types of ways to produce the r sound. One is called retroflex, which he is kinda doing where the tongue goes across the roof of the mouth, and another that is a little more common which is called bunched, where the tongue is bunched to the bottom and tip is down by the back molars.

I don't either

[@silverspeak4813]

It’s slowly being phased out of English

Thank you. This is helpful. My son sometimes has trouble with r sounds, especially gr, fr, they often sound like gw, fw.

What if the kid is not as smart as yours to understand the diagram or his hand movement relating to his toung?

[@leannewheeler5351]

Seek help from a professional

[@anxietyqueen7539]

I'm 16 with the same issue, I can't say my r's, I got somebody to try to help me with fixing my r's, but, it never worked.

[@familyfunpack]

its ok if you can't say them. its a tricky letter!

[@anxietyqueen7539]

@@familyfunpack very much is, I used to be bullied for it my 8th grade year. (When I went to public school for the first time) but, now I sort of just learned to work my way around that tricky letter!

[@ellie_grace_gymnast7720]

It never worked for me either I had years of speech therapy for me they also taught me to put my tongue on the roof of my mouth
