Product Details
Effective, engaging therapy materials for teaching the R sound! R Sound Chaining for Speech therapy is a perfect addition to your SLP toolkit.
What is chaining?
This motor-based approach to teaching /r/ builds on pre-trained sounds, gradually increasing the complexity of speech movements. Speech motor chaining takes the principles of motor learning into consideration and has resulted in successful acquisition of target speech patterns and generalization to untrained words (Preston, Leece & Storto, 2019).
What is included in this product?
This workbook contains over 300 speech chains for the R sound, plus visuals and instructional material for bunched and retroflex R, data collection sheet, and self-rating cards.
Each chain goes from syllable → monosyllabic word → multisyllabic word → phrase → sentence.
It is recommended that you also have your students produce self-generated sentences using the phrases to help with carryover into connected speech.
An example of a chain would be: Ray → Raise → Raisin → Raisin Cookies → My mom is baking raisin cookies.
This workbook has targets for:
- Prevocalic /r/
- Vocalic R (er, ar, ear, ire, or, air)
- R-blends (tr, dr, and shr)
This workbook focuses on speech motor chaining for the R Sound, and I know you’ll love it.
