"Go RRR and feel the back of your tongue tickle the roof of your mouth. Do not make the sound in your throat, but in your mouth." Gargle the sound in your mouth, not throat.(this is the sound) Now make it steady like an air plane landing in calm winds not like a kite.(use your hand to demonstrate) (this is establishing steadiness or resonance to the sound). After 10 years, this has been the most effective in getting /r/ out of severely /r/ challenged kids. Good luck, Mark Lytle

1. You say the sound with the child's error in a word and have the child "correct you." Stop modeling the correct sound, it just frustrates the kids. You come down to their level and bring them up.
